The Pride of Parnell
Opening Night: September 9, 2009
Closing: October 4, 2009
Theater: 59E59 Theaters
Italy 1-Ireland 0… The score that marked Ireland’s demoralizing exit from the World Cup Italia 1990 took its toll. No more so than on Janet and Joe Brady of Parnell Street, who lost far more than the match that night. Some years on, they reveal the intimacies of their love and the rupture of their marriage as well as their enduring love affair with Dublin city itself. The Pride of Parnell Street is an intimate, heroic tale of ordinary and extraordinary life on the streets of Dublin.
