The Freedom of the City
(Irish Repertory Theatre, closes Nov. 25). A flawless revival of Brian Friel's 1973 masterpiece about a Northern Ireland protest march that ended in bloodshed. Not so much a history play as a tragic meditation on politics run amok,
The Freedom of the City has been staged by Ciarán O'Reilly with a galvanizing blend of force and subtlety, and the cast is as good as it can possibly be (TT).
