"Ireland's play slyly makes the case that it is not discrimination
that ensures survival ... but rather the ability to be two opposing
things at once: Irish and British, politician and terrorist, even
comedy and tragedy. If tragicomedy is the natural Irish form,
Ireland makes his own inversion here, beginning with amused
splutters, ending in hard gulps" The Irish Times Eric Miller is a
Belfast Loyalist. He believes his five-week old granddaughter is
Gerry Adams. His family keep telling him to stop living in the past
and fighting old battles that nobody cares about anymore, but his
cultural heritage is under siege. He must act. David Ireland's
black comedy takes one man's identity crisis to the limits as he
uncovers the modern day complexity of Ulster Loyalism. Cyprus
Avenue premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin in 2016, before
transferring to the Royal Court Theatre, The MAC in Belfast and The
Public Theater in New York. It won Best New Play at the Irish Times
Theatre Awards and the James Tait Black Prize for Drama, 2017. This
edition features a new introduction by Professor Ondrej Pilny.
