The Irish and How They Got That Way


Event Details

This event finished on 19 December 2021


By Frank McCourt

This show delivers what it promises: stirring blarney, a bit of hokum, genuine heartache and much joy.

Set in McCourt’s Pub, complete with a working bar, the narration weaves a buoyant blend of traditional songs, show tunes and pop – from “Danny Boy” and George M. Cohan to U2 – with a reminder of the injustices, humiliations, and privations suffered by the Irish people both in Ireland and here in their new neighborhoods in America.   Check website for detailed dates and times. https://capitalrep.org/event/the-irish-and-how-they-got-that-way-2/
