Oliver Cromwell is Really Very Sorry
Scroll ↓
A musical about a man the English don’t remember and the Irish will never forget. Put your hands up for Oliver Cromwell: Daddy of Democracy, Puritan and total Taurus.
Ollie’s Army is back for a night of pure carnage, legendary pop anthems and bloody historical re-enactments. But listen, he’s very sorry. Really very sorry. Really.
This is history but not as you know it; Oliver Cromwell is Really Very Sorry is an outrageous new musical exploring English colonialism in Ireland framed by an archaeological dig in search of Cromwell’s missing head.
“Hilarious, deceptively angry marvel [that] smuggles polemic into its comic show-stoppers”
