Lining out for another run on the stage

Writer and director, John Breen, has no problem being known as the guy who wrote Alone It Stands.

The hit play, which tells the story of Munster’s 12-0 victory over the All Blacks in 1978 was first produced in 1999. Alone It Stands has now been seen all over Ireland and has travelled to the UK, Australia, France, Malaysia, New Zealand and Tasmania. It’s estimated that 260,000 people worldwide have seen it.

Breen hopes that the new production of Alone It Stands — the first in five years — will attract a new audience as well as people who want to relive the experience of this theatrical tour de force in which six actors play 62 roles.
