Odyssey Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
In the 1950s, the bloody generations-long conflict between the Irish Republican Army and England became even more incendiary when various IRA splinter groups began a campaign of terror against civilian targets, a decision that was even felt here in America, especially in the heavily Irish Philadelphia neighborhood known as Corktown. Directed by Tony nominee Wilson Milam (The Lieutenant of Inishmore), Corktown ’57 is a powerful drama about an Irish-American family torn apart by the conflict. When the family patriarch learns he has only six months to live, he hatches a scheme to regain his status in the eyes of the Irish Republican movement. But his plan soon spirals out of control and toward tragedy. See this explosive new drama at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles.
