Ulster American
Presented by Joh Hartog Productions
Ulster American is a provocative and hilarious play that is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat! Written by David Ireland and directed by Joh Hartog, this award-winning play delves deep into the complexities of identity politics, nationalism, and the limits of free speech.
The play follows and ambitious Hollywood actor (Brendan Cooney), a brash Northern Irish playwright (Cheryl Douglas), and a well-meaning British director (Scott Nell) who find themselves embroiled in a scandal that threatens to destroy their careers. As tensions rise and allegiances shift, Ulster American offers a thought-provoking examination of power, privilege, and the dark side of the entertainment industry.
Featuring a talented cast of actors and sharp, witty dialogue, Ulster American is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary theatre. Don’t miss your chance to experience this bold and daring production that has taken the theatre world by storm!
This play couldn’t be more Irish if it tried. It is as Irish as a f***ing potato famine!
