A Night in November

 

Kenneth lived in a divided world – us and them. Our politicians and their politicians. He followed the rules. He lived where he was expected to live. He loved who he was supposed to love. He hated who he was supposed to hate.

No, this is not here and now. This is Belfast, Northern Ireland, 1993. A Night in November follows Kenneth on a wild and wonderful journey of self-discovery.

Based on the now notorious events surrounding the World Cup qualifying match between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, A Night in November is the stunning multi-award winning play from Marie Jones, the writer of other hit shows such as ‘Stones in His Pockets’ & ‘Women On The Verge Of HRT’.

The Seanchai presents John Dunleavy as Kenneth Norman McAllister. Dunleavy, who received a Joseph Jefferson nomination for Best Actor when he performed this role in Chicago, recreates this multi-character two-act play for the first time in Milwaukee.

“Dunleavy powerfully conjured the tensions in his character’s marriage in the first act. And by the gleeful, liberating second half of this stamina-testing work, he was in fine form” ~ CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

“Dunleavy is giving an unquestionably bravura performance…   for two hours fills the stage with a gallery of lusty Irish characters in this one-man show.” ~ CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“Dunleavy rises to the challenge with a performance of deep passion, brisk humor and absolute conviction. His is one of the year’s finest turns. Kenneth’s story is one of the year’s great treasures.” ~ GAY CHICAGO

A Night in November opens September 9th at InterChange Theater Co-op, 628 N 10th Street. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.interchangetheater.com/shows.
