A Night in November

One night only! Join us on October 8 for A Night in November, another moving theater piece in the spirit of our recent presentation of Green & Blue.

About A Night in November

The sectarian prejudices of 1994 Northern Ireland are challenged in an arena even more impassioned than politics: football. This brilliant and piercingly funny one-man play demonstrates how tolerance is possible even in the face of our most entrenched rivalries…. Alan Smyth gives an electrifying performance of this compelling, comic, and profoundly hopeful story from Irish playwright Marie Jones.

The multi-award-winning one-person play, set in Northern Ireland, centers on Kenneth McCallister, a bored protestant dole clerk who, after witnessing the hatred and bigotry of his community, sets out on a voyage of discovery and redemption. Racism, sectarianism, belonging, and soccer collide in this often hilarious and deeply moving examination of unconscious bias and national identity.
