A Holy Show by Janet Moran

Step on the plane with us and experience this most Irish of hijackings. There’ll be music, nostalgia, heroism, praying, visions, romance (maybe) sex (maybe) a special appearance by Our Lady (definitely). There’ll even be a miracle. I swear.

[stars-4] “Airplane meets Hall’s Pictorial Weekly… Have you cracking a rib with laughter. Only in Ireland could you get a hijacking this ridiculous. Or this hilarious. Or this much fun.” The Arts Review

“Ennis and Moy are a dream team… They physically inhabit each new character at breakneck speed making each one completely believable and unique… The audience last night was completely enchanted by the play. Not to be missed.” No More Workhorse

“Lovingly made, giddily nostalgic comedy… An enviable team of collaborators seizes every opportunity for embellishment, from earthy comic turns to absurd religious visitations to slick stage effects.” The Irish Times
