The BELLE of BELFAST by Nate Rufus Edelman, directed by Claudia Weill 69' is running thru June 7 at the DR2 theatre off Union Square in NY, a production of The Irish Repertory Theatre.

In 1985 Belfast, Anne Malloy drinks and smokes her days away with her curry chip-addicted best mate. But when she turns for comfort to her parish priest, she discovers her troubles have just begun. A wry and bittersweet portrait of a girl and a city at war.

A BEST BET Pick! “Captivating…The genius of 'The Belle of Belfast' is the way things that are compelling are juxtaposed with things that are flip. One moment you can be laughing because of a wisecrack, but the next, your heart is tugged by a tender look between Lydic and Allan-Headley.  Under Claudia Weill’s tight direction on a modest, well-used stage, the whole cast is impressive. A must-see.” –Theater is Easy
