WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Italy 1-Ireland 0... The score that marked Ireland's demoralizing exit from the World Cup Italia 1990 took its toll. No more so than on Janet and Joe Brady of Parnell Street, who lost far more than the match that night. Some years on, they reveal the intimacies of their love and the rupture of their marriage as well as their enduring love affair with Dublin city itself. The Pride of Parnell Street is an intimate, heroic tale of ordinary and extraordinary life on the streets of Dublin.
Fishamble's world premiere of The pride of Parnell Street opened at the Tricycle Theatre in London and as part of the Dublin Festival at the Tivoli Theatre in 2007. The production makes its NYC premiere at 1st Irish at 59E59 Theaters after successful tours through Ireland, France, Germany and at the Arts & Ideas Festival in New Haven, CT.

In The Pride of Parnell Street, now at 59E59 Theaters, playwright Sebastian Barry tells how a single brutal act forever disrupts the Dublin marriage of Joe (Aidan Kelly), a small-time criminal who gets passed up by the economic miracle of Ireland's Celtic Tiger, and his long-suffering wife Janet (Mary Murray) during the turbulent early 1990s, before peace and prosperity temporarily lifted Ireland out of its decades of troubles and toil.
The play -- presented by Dublin's Fishamble: The New Play Company and helmed by its artistic director, Jim Culleton -- began life as a short monologue for an Amnesty International campaign to stop violence ag[...]
