theatre: ulster american by david ireland

from award-winning playwright david ireland comes a dark comedy of our time. everyone is entitled to an opinion, as long as it’s the right one. absurd and uncomfortably familiar, ulster american turns our obsession with identity, politics and being on the right side of history into a question of who gets to decide what anyone else is allowed to believe.

»a fringe first winner in its 2018 world premiere run at edinburgh fringe. it played at london's riverside studios (second half productions) in 2023, and starred woody harrelson, andy serkis, and louisa harland.«

»the american premiere production had an extended run in march 2026 at the irish repertory theatre. tony award winning actor, matthew broderick, played oscar-winning hollywood star, jay conway.«
