The king of
east belfast
Written By: Stephen Beggs
Directed By: Paula McFetridge
Production Premiere: August 2020
Can you really make your money out of a working man’s vices and still call yourself a good man?
Jim swore he would never come back. For him, Belfast was nothing but ghosts and bad memories. He had to get away, from his family, from everything that had happened. From him…
Too many things said; too many things left unsaid. Ran away across the sea and kept running for over 30 years; but he’s finally come home…to say a last goodbye.
Explore the binary of being a notorious bookie and a generous man and the real histories that unraveled on the Newtownards Road.
