Alone it Stands tells the Story of Munster’s historic win over the All Blacks in 1978. This hilarious award winning comedy sees six actors playing over sixty characters including; Tony ward and the Munster Team, The All Blacks and their coach, two fanatical Limerick supporters desperate for tickets, the quality up from Cork, Sinbad the dog, and of course the Bunratty medieval singers.

There is a birth, a wake, a bonfire and a Rugby match that will never be forgotten.

Early this year Alone It Stands embarked on a 32 week tour comprising of 150 public performances spanning the length and breadth of the country playing in over 65 venues including theatre, rugby clubs and Portlaoise High Security prison! It is hoped to tour the show in the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand next year.

What the critics said:

Alone It Stands is a joy on several counts laced with marvelous humour and humanity. The cast are a dream team and their artistic triumph matches anything on the field of play. The Irish Examiner
