Anyone heard of this? It was running in Cork Opera House last week and I went to see it on Saturday. Sitting in the 3rd row was quite an ... intimate (!) ... experience!! Opening during the 1916 Rising, it follows Collins through his years of fighting for a republic, until his tragic death during the Civil War on home territory. The songs were unreal spesh the Civil War song and Fly The Flag Of Freedom! It received a well deserved standing ovation and I certainly burned off a maxi twist's worth of calories from all the apllauding! I guess I could be a bit biased, considering Mick is one of my heroes...but really, anyone would enjoy it. Mick Collins is one of the most legendary, iconic heroes in our nation's illusive history. Hailing from Cork certainly only serves to increase his appeal!
Brit: "You're seven minutes late."
Collins: "You kept us waiting seven hundred years, you can have your seven minutes."
A legend or what?

I may be related to the leg-end himself! I must go through it with my uncle again, it was all very confusing...
