Gerry Adams has disguised himself as a newborn baby and successfully infiltrated my family home. Eric Miller is a Belfast Loyalist. He believes his five-week old granddaughter is Gerry Adams. His family keep telling him to stop living in the past and fighting old battles that nobody cares about anymore, but his cultural heritage is under siege. He must act. David Ireland's black comedy takes one man's identity crisis to the limits as he uncovers the modern day complexity of Ulster Loyalism. Cyprus Avenue was first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 11 February 2016, before transferring to the Royal Court Theatre, London in April 2016.
レビュー

R.I.P. but I would have done the same
That baby was asking for it.
-
I LIKE THE PLAY.
I saw the play back in 2019 and had to buy the script.
-
As funny, dark and complex as Northern Irish identity
Alternatively profound and absurd, really chilling tale of trauma in post-conflict Northern Ireland. I really want to find the Stephen Rea version that was shown on BBC iPlayer
