The Great Macmorris
The Great Macmorris at the Grand Opera House in Belfast.
About it
Play: In all of Shakespeare, there is only one Irishman, Captain Macmorris, and he gets just one lousy scene in Henry V. He's been doing the same old thing for four hundred and twenty-odd years and he's not taking it anymore. So he's going to war with Shakespeare for better parts and a fair deal for the Irish. He recruits a gang of characters from the plays to join him in his battle against the all-powerful bard and his ruthless henchman, Iago. Expect plenty of laughs, some heartbreaking moments and a whole new comic way of looking at Shakespeare. And, by the way, you don't need to know anything about the Bard of Avon to see the funny side.
