The Sons of Erin (1812)
by Alicia Sheridan Le Fanu
Tonight 3/19: Sons of Erin Reading at Irish Rep!
Featuring: Cloteal Horne, Shane McNaughton, Dorothea Gloria, Max Baker, Gilbert Cruz, Patrice Johnson Chevannes, Ethan Davenport, Sarah Street, Owen Laheen, Desirée Baxter, John Russell, Zoe Watkins, and Stephen Quinn
This free reading on Irish Rep’s mainstage is sold out –– but most folks get in from the waitlist or cancellation line! If you’re interested and don’t yet have your ticket, come by tonight and join the line and the laughter.
Some of our favorite zingers from Sons of Erin:
“In families, as in governments, make sure of the women, and the business is done.”
“I hate control; and when that submissive animal, a lover, is changed into that lordly one, a husband, adieu to all the delights of life.”
“It is as much beyond your power to wound me with your sarcasms, as again to delude me with your sophistry.”
Sneak peek into the in-depth podcast:
“I love that the core of how everything gets fixed is this woman’s brilliant plan.”
