The Kings of the Kilburn High Road - Pure Mule Productions

What to Expect

The Kings of the Kilburn High Road is an acclaimed drama by Irish playwright Jimmy Murphy, presented by the newly formed Pure Mule Productions, based in Carrick-on-Shannon. The play is set in London in the mid-1990s and follows a group of men from the west of Ireland who emigrated in the 1970s hoping to make their fortunes. Twenty-five years later, one of the group - Jackie Flavin - makes it home, but in a coffin. The day of his funeral brings old friends together to drink to his memory and reckon with their lives, lost dreams and changed Ireland. The cast includes Peadar Conway, Gerry Farrell, Brian Gallagher, Michael McLoughlin and Niall Brewster.
