It’s nice to see the company return to its Irish roots once again.

You’ll laugh and then continue to laugh for so long that you’ll forget that you have no earthly idea what a “blaguard” is…

If you’re the type that likes Irish fun and Irish tunes, and if you’re in search of a simple, uncomplicated evening of entertainment, you’ll want to head for the Church Street Theater to visit a green and (sometimes) pleasant land that the Irish Tourist Board once labeled “The Ancient Birthplace of Good Times.”

The Keegan Theatre is kicking off their new season with A Couple of Blaguards, a two-man show and the theatrical autobiography of Frank and Malachy McCourt.

A Couple of Blaguards is a heartwarming tale that will ring a church bell for every member of the audience. Together this team of actors gives you one hell of a night on the stage.

Long before Frank McCourt was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author — and after his destitute Irish upbringing, which was later immortalized in “Angela’s Ashes” — he was a teacher at Stuyvesant High School on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
