The Production opened in October 2021 at the Gaiety Theatre Dublin when there was still a COVID rescriction of 60%,  and filled to capacity.

It played 3 times in all at the Gaiety Theatre,   filling to capacity on each occasion. The Production also tours nationally from 2021 until autumn 2023 selling out every performance, often return gin to the same venue to acclaim and full capacity.

Willy Russell held a Zoom meeting with Michael Scott and Norma Sheahan and rewrote some elements and words to make the production fit Ireland, taking great care to get the same dramatic and phonetic resonances as the original text.0
