Ireland’s Call is a raw and gripping one-man show written and performed by John Connors. It tells the powerful story of a young working-class man growing up on Dublin’s Northside, navigating addiction, violence, and trauma. Through vivid characters and emotional turning points, the play explores generational pain, institutional neglect, and the fight for identity and hope. Based on Connors’ own experiences and performed to sold-out audiences worldwide, Ireland’s Call is a compelling, socially-charged piece that sparks deep conversation and connection—especially through its post-show discussions with the audience.
John Connors toured the world with Ireland’s Call from 2018 to 2020, performing to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim in Ireland, the UK, France, Australia, and the United States. Returning to the Civic for ONE NIGHT in November 2025. According to John ”
