A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER (marie Jones DubbelJoint Productions) PART TWO

A Night in November follows Kenneth Norman McCallister, a Protestant dole clerk working in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He has "cleanly discriminated" against Catholics throughout his life, and indeed he gains much pleasure when he gets accepted into the golf club ahead of his Catholic boss. This continues until he witnesses the hatred directed towards the Catholic supporters of the Republic of Ireland at the world cup qualifier match between Northern Ireland and the Republic, which causes him to question his beliefs and his identity as a British Protestant in Northern Ireland. The play shows how Kenneth deals with his identity crisis through monologues and soliloquies as well as introducing numerous other characters for Kenneth to interact with, all played by the one actor. By the end of the play Kenneth travels to New York to support the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup finals, and he has come to terms with his identity as an Irish Protestant. "I am a free man, I am a Protestant man, I am an Irish man"

Written by Belfast playwright Marie Jones, 'A Night In November' stars award winning actor Dan Gordon as Kenneth McAlister, a working class Protestant, during a fateful night in November1993 in Belfast when the Republic of Ireland soccer team plays against Northern Ireland in a world cup qualifier. As the game progresses, Kenneth finds himself watching the crowd more than the football -- and exposing his Anti-Catholic bigotry. Thought provoking and hilarious, this play has wowed audiences all around the world and is one of the best pieces of theatre written in Ireland in the past 30 years.
