About

A one-man show about Ireland, Britain, and never quite knowing which nationality you are.Youre born in one country. But your parents come from a different one.

A one-man show about Ireland, Britain, and never quite knowing which nationality you are.Youre born in one country.

But your parents come from a different one.

So what does that make you?What if the two countries share a complex history, of conquest and subjugation, resistance and rebellion? But which happen to be closest neighbours across the Irish Sea, and have grown to a mutual understanding, and (a sometimes uneasy) co-existence?How do you, born and raised in one of those countries, but with ties and binds to the other, define yourself? Are you British? Or are you Irish? Or dont you know? And why the hell are there so many Irish people in England, anyway?Join Declan Duffy as he attempts to make some good sense out of it all.

Hell be considering the history of Irish migration to Britain, the difficulties encountered by the people who made that journey, and how all of it has influenced us, their descendants, in our consideration of who and what we are.

Therell be some songs, of course there will.

And a few laughs.

And well attempt to answer the vexed question of how many boxes you technically have to tick in order to confidently state: I am Irish (sort of).This is an show for adults but we're trying out a day time performance time.Running time: 75 minutes
