"Gripping...
..Dan Jr. is embodied by the actor Aonghus Óg McAnally, and I say “embodied” because it feels like it’s not an actor on a stage telling us this story, but a man telling his story.

Fight Night is a powerful, heartwarming, energetic, moving, one-man, full-house menu of emotions and thoughts, and considerations on what it means to be a member of a family and all the complexities that go with that, now playing at 59E59 through April 20th.

Ireland is still nowhere near the EU average for Arts investment. Aside from the cultural benefits, the financial returns are irrefutable. The Arts Council must be properly resourced to facilitate audiences getting the world class work they deserve.
