We didn’t even know the Gate was tackling such a contemporary work.

    What is it with Alan Stanford’s love-in with the Gate Theatre? They show a disproportionate amount of his adapted plays which are mostly costume dramas with costumes designed by Peter O’Brien. Stale.

    It’s ‘back by popular demand’ not sure how, I saw it last time. Poor performance and the Gate is muck.

      We walked out of this lightweight production around Christmas…a bare set, cheap costumes, lightweight performances.
      The Gate puts on superb productions…this, a first in absolute mediocrity & the masses bring it back!

    I pride myself on the fact that I haven’t got a clue who any of these people are (except that bloke who sang lady)

    Because upper class toff is the only accent Stanford can do. Irish thEAtre darlings is as they say ‘up it’s own arse’. Has been for decades. It’s either Fair City (plough and the stars) or Downton abbey( oscar Wilde)…

    …have any of these liggers ever bought a ticket? Same interval act at all these openings….the Usual Suspects.

        I’ve seen it spelled ‘Beure’ which is a bit too continental for by liking.
        Beor is good enough.
