Following two sell-out runs - the return of the one-man show that chronicles the remarkable life of David Ervine. A great insight into not just the man, but the Protestant community in the most turbulent period of The Troubles.
From the backstreets of East Belfast to Long Kesh prison to political negotiations at the White House and Downing Street. Facing personal family tragedies, he went on to be widely regarded as the man who did most to deliver the Protestant working class to support the Good Friday Agreement. An important figure in the history of Ulster loyalism, Ervine was also known for his grasp of the English language and capacity for using 'big words'. It's a remarkable story, providing a great insight into not just the man, but the Protestant community in the most turbulent period of the Troubles.
Playwright, Bobby Niblock, who served time in prison alongside Ervine, has written several plays exploring the politics of the Protestant working class community.
Contains strong/offensive language.
