UK premiere of YES SO I SAID YES to run at Finborough Theatre

The UK premiere of award-winning playwright David Ireland’s Yes So I Said Yes is set to run at the Finborough Theatre for a four week limited season on 23 November.

Ulster Loyalist Alan Black is kept awake every night by his neighbour McCorrick’s dog barking. To add to his difficulties, McCorrick refuses to acknowledge that he even owns a dog, let alone one that is creating a disturbance.

In a Northern Ireland he barely recognises, where politics has proved just to be the continuation of war by other means, a disconsolate Alan sets out to rid himself of the incessant noise.

As he seeks help from authority figures, he finally – as a very last resort – turns to the only voice he can really trust, Eammon Holmes…

The production is directed by Max Elton, with design by Ceci Calf, lighting by Arnim Friess, costumes by Isobel Pellow, and sound and composition by Jack Baxter.

The cast includes Kevin Murphy, Daragh O’Malley, Owen O’Neill, Declan Rodgers, Laura Dos Santos and Kevin Trainor.

Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the partition of Ireland and the foundation of Northern Ireland, Yes So I Said Yes is a blackly comic, ferocious, dystopian satire about what it’s like to feel alone in a place where everyone else is conspiring to erase you and your history.
