Alone it Stands by John Breen
October 31st 1978. Thomond Park, Limerick. The mighty New Zealand All Blacks, oin an Irish tour, take on the none-too-mighty Munster team - and, to everyone's surprise, they lose 12-0. From this piece of Irish sporting history John Breen has fashioned a funny, lively play in which both teams, plus fans, children, relatives and even a dog, are portrayed by a cast of six, with no props and only a half-time change of shirt.
