“‘Plastic Paddy?’ Or ‘Bombing Irish?’ We couldn’t win, could we? Us Inbetweeners? Irish kids born and brought up in the UK. Loving going ‘Home’ every summer. The freedom, the craic. Dancing with dark-haired boys in the local ballroom: my first summer of Love. And then back in England in the 1980s with IRA bombs going off. Keeping your head down and mouth shut. But then I was a bit English too. Loved punks with safety pins in their nose, curries, Adam Ant and Tops of the Pops! But we never sang God Save the Queen. Caught between two sometimes colliding worlds. Our own lost tribe – the Second Generation Irish. Identity is tricky, isn’t it? That’s why I wrote my one-woman play AM I IRISH YET? all about what it’s like to be one of Us – the mixed up Irish/English or whatever they want to call us. For sure, I might not be Irish enough for some folks, but I am definitely all Irish enough for me. Just like you’” – Kate Kerrigan, writer and performer of AM I IRISH YET?
Am I Irish Yet is the funny, sad, laugh out loud totally relatable show for every girl who grew up in London calling somewhere else home! Starring New York Times best selling novelist Kate Kerrigan and produced and directed by BAFTA winner Kevin Toolis.
