By Jimmy Murphy. In the mid 1970s, a group of young men left their

and returning home. Twenty five years later only one, Jackie Flavin,
makes it home - but does so in a coffin. The play takes place on the
day that the winners and losers of the group meet up to drink to
Flavin’s memory and looks at their lives, lost dreams and their place
in the new Ireland. 8pm. Tickets: f16/12.50. Box Office: 056 7761674.
