Best-selling novelist Colin Bateman’s acclaimed first play is a fast-paced black farce. On the eve of a visit by the US President, poet Dessie O’Hare and composer Gary Miller are charged with a seemingly impossible task – to create a National Anthem for a ‘new’ Northern Ireland. While old demons and prejudices resurface the clock ticks towards a deadline…with the emphasis on the dead…..
Bateman’s trademark black humour is here in abundance. Shortlisted for best new play at the Irish Theatre Awards 2010.
