To Be Men

Rural Northern Ireland, the passing of Phelim McKenna brings estranged cousins Donal and Padraig back together for his wake. Donal, returning home from England, finds he is a stranger in his hometown. Padraig , however, dreams of a new tractor and meeting a hot Polish girl down the pub to go to Mass with. But as they come to terms with Phelim’s sudden loss, secrets emerge, regret and prejudice surface, and past family feuds reignite. In a modern day post ‘troubles’ rural community, has much changed in how men can talk to men? Pebble Trust nominee Weeman Theatre returns to the Brighton Fringe with the premier of their new dark comedy.
