It's a play about a barbershop quartet in a small Irish town but, like the rest of Billy Roche's work, it is really about so much more. I did slightly prefer the version the Tricycle Theatre in London did 5 years ago, in which Roche himself appeared, but it's definitely worth seeing this if you don't know any/much Billy Roche. In any event, the Abbey's new auditorium is almost worth a visit itself. No more terrible sightlines, no more acoustic dead spots.
