Overview
One of the most highly acclaimed Irish comedies of recent years, A Night in November is a hard and humourous look at the Protestant tradition in Northern Ireland. Kenneth McCallister is a dole clerk who tolerates his marriage, his in-laws and Ulster until, on the fateful night in November in Belfast, as the Republic of Ireland qualifies against Northern Ireland for the World Cup, he finds himself watching the sectarian hatred of the crowd rather than the match. A Night in November follows Kenneth McCallister on his rebellious journey as he decides to travel to New York to join the joyous caravan of supporters following the Republic's soccer team. As he crosses the tarmac at Dublin airport, he looks back at his entirely predictable existence, roars with laughter and boards a flight into the unknown. Not a play about football but about one man who suddenly realises that he can have a hand in his own destiny.Book Details
