The Rebels have won!

Last night the cast and crew of Rebellion utterly smashed it again.

I spoke to this young fella just after he had shouldered his rifle in the South Dublin Union with Cathal Brugha.

I don’t think he could have been more buzzing if real bullets had been zipping past his head!

Mr Director specifically asked me to give a shout to a very sound crew from Stockport who had travelled up for the play.

Maith thú!

On the opening night last Thursday there was a rather special member of the audience.

Joyce McMillan of the Scotsman is undoubtedly the most respected theatre critic in Scotland.

Here is her review.

Mr Director told me that a three-star review from Joyce is really something.

Indeed he said that many well-funded production companies would kill for such a rating from her.

It would appear that this Fenian can write a bit, but keep that to yourself.

In a late item of news the theatre box office has found TEN tickets from their batch and have returned them to Sweet For Addicts.

They can be purchased here.

All I can say to all of those involved in this production of Rebellion is míle buíochas.

If you’ve got a ticket for tonight then you’re lucky.

You really are.
