“An Eye for a Killing” is out next Friday (28th). It was great to play William Hare in Colin MacDonald’s incredible writing, under Bruce Young’s direction with such a great cast. Check it out! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001lkx…
I’ve had a great time on this phenomenal play in the beautiful Sanctuary Theatre! Thanks to everyone who worked on Ulster American! I’ve been on billboards and busses with @CazaBelfast and Andrew - but the best place to be with them is on stage! Belfast, until next time! ❤️

“David Ireland’s Ulster American steadily curls itself into a clenched fist before delivering knockout blows” with superb playing by @CazaBelfast @JamesBoalJnr and Andrew McClay for @BUTheatreCo. My @BritTheatreGuid review: britishtheatreguide.info/rev…

REVIEW – Ulster American – an insecure American actor, a profit-driven English theatre director and a stubborn playwright walk into a living room and it’s no joke! (@UmbrellaDrama at Sanctuary Theatre until Saturday 6 September)
