SHOOT THE CROW

This production began performances on 28th September and closed on 10th December 2005.

★★★★
Tragicomedy of character and circumstance that makes McCafferty look like a ribald Northern Irish Chekov.

The Guardian

A Belfast building site. Four tilers on the make, each dreaming of better things. But not all of them can commit the same petty crime. 

★★★★
Owen McCafferty puts that right with his fresh, rueful comedy.

Daily Mail

Acutely observed and brilliantly witty, SHOOT THE CROW is a hilarious and moving homage to the working man.

★★★★
McCafferty combines authenticity of observation with quirky humour, moral toughness and a sympathetic understanding of difficult and, at times, quietly desperate lives.
