GBL Productions present Chronicles of Long
Kesh by Martin Lynch
The hilarious, painful and shocking story of
Northern Ireland’s infamous prison — Long
Kesh — is told through the eyes of prison
officers, Republicans and Loyalists, a rich
assortment of patriots, chancers, leaders,
wives, escapers and hypochondriacs! A
huge crowd-pleaser, full of 1960’s Mo-
Town songs and wild, irreverent humour,
this is the inside story of The Troubles.
Chronicles of Long Kesh last played in
Belfast in 2012 with a sold-out run and
standing ovations every single night! The
play has toured throughout Northern
Ireland and was a smash-hit at the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
*****
‘Fierce and gripping, direct from Belfast and
dripping with the sound, fury and black humour of
that city… played out at breakneck speed on
tremendous energy … snatches of the music of the
day all sung a cappella… light relief and a period
touch in one winning, theatrical flourish.’
THE TIMES
****
‘Simple staging and superb performances work an
un-showy magic.’
THE GUARDIAN
****
‘Physical, loud, sweary, funny, perfectly
choreographed, terrifying and still, again, funny.’
