About this event

Ulster American, written by David Ireland and directed by Ciarán O’Reilly, is a savagely funny play that dissects the intersection of identity politics, ego, privilege, and the Northern Irish Troubles with satirical precision.

A theatrical hand grenade disguised as a drawing-room comedy, Ulster American explosively reveals some raw contradictions at the heart of modern storytelling and political posturing.

Starring Max Baker, Matthew Broderick and Geraldine Hughes.
