A Night in November follows Kenneth Norman McCallister, a Protestant dole clerk working in Belfast, who has “cleanly discriminated” against Catholics throughout his life, and indeed he gains much pleasure when he gets accepted into the golf club ahead of his Catholic boss.
This continues until he witnesses the hatred directed towards the Catholic supporters of the Republic of Ireland at a 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Northern Ireland which causes him to question his beliefs and his identity as a British Protestant in Northern Ireland. The play shows how Kenneth deals with his identity crisis through monologues and soliloquies as well as introducing numerous other characters for Kenneth to interact with, all played by the one actor.
By the end of the play Kenneth travels to New York to support the Republic of Ireland at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and he has come to terms with his identity as an Irish Protestant. “I am a free man, I am a Protestant man, I am an Irish man”
This demanding role is performed by BDG Chairman ALAN McCLARTY.
All proceeds from the three performances are being generously donated to Action Cancer.
This Production will be a tribute to loved ones of Alan, Darren and Richard
