Theatre Review: Jack at the Everyman, Cork
There can be little doubt that Jack Lynch is a name close to Cork hearts. To have “one of their own” successfully take on the rest of the country on both the hurling field and in the Dáil is the stuff of legend, and it is this legend that playwright Declan Hassett, and director Patrick Talbot quarried for Jack.
One would estimate that the packed house was evenly divided between GAA experts and political pundits, to judge from the bursts of appreciative laughter at clever lines and local jokes.
