THE MAN WHO SWALLOWED A DICTIONARY IS BACK — AND TOURING NORTHERN IRELAND!
TICKETS FOR SPECTRUM CENTRE - PHONE.. JACKIE ON 07548912571
Following another hugely successful run last year, Green Shoot Productions is bringing The Man Who Swallowed a Dictionary back to audiences across Northern Ireland this autumn.
Starring Paul Garrett as David Ervine, this powerful one-man play charts an extraordinary journey, from the backstreets of East Belfast and Long Kesh to the political negotiations that helped shape the Peace Process.
Funny, moving, challenging and unmistakably Northern Irish, the production has already proved a major audience hit, with its original Lyric Theatre run and subsequent NI tour selling out.
Now it’s hitting the road again. 👇
