Irish actor Alan Smyth reprises his tour de force performance in A Night in November about one of the most explosive nights in The Troubles.
It’s November 1993, and Northern Ireland faces the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifying match at Windsor Park in Belfast. The game is made all the more consequential since it occurs just weeks after the Shankhill Bomb and The Greysteel Massacre. Multiple roles are masterfully performed by Smyth, who according to Irish Arts and Entertainment, “inhabits each of the characters with such care and specificity, the audience is almost unaware they are watching a single individual...” The audience cheers on the teams in the rousing finale to this provocative piece of theatre.
