A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER
September 6 – October 1, 2000
written by Marie Jones directed by Steve Rose Kenneth is a simple, quietly bigoted Protestant. Perceived boundaries of religion, class and gender are released as Kenneth joins Ireland football supporters to the World Cup, and becomes wrapped in the warmth of Catholic abandon, in relaxed domestic schedules, bouts of drunkenness, and general ease with life.

Dunleavy powerfully conjured the tensions in his character’s marriage in the first act. And by the gleeful, liberating second half of this stamina-testing work, he was in fine form" |
Dunleavy is giving an unquestionably bravura performance... Earthy, intense... |
Dunleavy rises to the challenge with a performance of deep passion, brisk humor and absolute conviction. His is one of the year’s finest turns. Kenneth's story is one of the year’s great treasures." |
