The Lyric showcased the new play by Belfast-born Owen McCafferty. The plot centres around two aging Belfast men : Gerry (played by Karl Johnson) and Iggy (Ian McElhinney). Conversing in a London hostel, these characters revisit important memories that have brought them to their current state. McCafferty’s indigenous knowledge of Northern Irish culture and mindsets has resulted in a comical, moving and daring work that remains long in the memory.
