The David vs. Goliath story of the all-amateur Munster rugby team tackling the might of the All Blacks jumps from modern Irish folklore onto the stage, with as much heart and excitement as any nail-biting football match.
John Breen’s fast and funny play is a showcase for the cast of six, taking on 62 roles including players, wives, fans, the coach and…the team dog.
Hilarious, moving and heart-warming, ALONE IT STANDS ultimately makes winners of us all. You’ll be hooked!
