No laugh a minute, but ‘Anglo’ is a great satire

With disgraced banker Seán FitzPatrick’s puppet banished to the storeroom of the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre for legal reasons, Anglo: The Musical could easily have been a case of Hamlet without the prince.

But with less than two weeks to replace FitzPatrick on legal advice, writer Paul Howard and his team rose to the occasion, and opening night was a success.

The most successful caricatures are Bertie Ahern and David McWilliams.
