The Pride of Parnell Street

Sebastian Barry

Italy 1 - Ireland 0 …The score that marked Ireland’s demoralising exit from Italia 1990 took its toll. No more so than on Janet and Joe Brady of Parnell Street, who lost far more than the match that night. Some years on, they reveal the intimacies of their love and the rupture of their marriage through interconnecting monologues that also evoke their lifelong love affair with Dublin city itself. Sebastian Barry explores with vivid tenderness the devastating effects of public and private acts of violence. This is an intimate, heroic tale of ordinary and extraordinary life on the streets of Dublin.
