THE BIG FELLAH
PRESENTED BY OUT OF JOINT AND THE LYRIC HAMMERSMITH
BY RICHARD BEAN | DIRECTED BY MAX STAFFORD-CLARK
Critics’ Choice “Hilariously funny… A play that turns on a sixpence between laughter and terror” - Sunday Times
New York 1972. Michael Doyle, a young fireman, joins the IRA. Soon his Bronx apartment is overrun with a fast-quipping Irish killer; a beautiful woman who he really mustn’t fall in love with; and charismatic boss David Costello, the “Big Fellah” himself. Over three turbulent decades their lives veer from farce to deadly danger…
Richard Bean’s brilliantly original, funny and shocking drama was a huge critical hit last autumn with Finbar Lynch reprising his acclaimed performance in the title role.
"jaw dropping laughs…cracking performances" -- Sunday Times
