Irish Authors Held Hostage

The title says it all. Authors. Irish ones. Held hostage. Yeats, Wilde, Joyce, Synge, Beckett, all with guns to their heads. For the love of God, produce this show! Have you no feeling heart in your chest? Available via email. The original DC cast of this production will read the play on St. Patrick's Day 2027 for Best Medicine Rep Theater Company.

"If you enrolled a gaggle of 'Saturday Night Live' writers in English 101 as taught by poet Seamus Heaney, they might whip up a droll spoof like 'Irish Authors Held Hostage.' 'Irish Authors' brims with an erudite postmodern whimsy that, at its most inspired moments, recalls Tom Stoppard."

"Playwright/actor Morogiello is a comic genius and IAHH the product of his literary sensibilities (okay, nerdiness) and disgusting talent."
--Hilary Crowe, WASHINGTON CITYPAPER

"John Morogiello's sense of the absurd is razor sharp, but never too high-brow to be understood by the average theatregoer."
--Jena Tesse Fox, BROADWAYWORLD
