LM and blissfully unaware of each other. However, his teenage children, a girl
from one family and a boy from the other, have met on the Internet and
are anxious to meet in person since they have so much in common
name, surname and taxi driving dad! Keeping them apart plunges John
into a hell hole of his own making. His lodger Stanley could be a saviour,
but he is about to go on holiday with his decrepit old father who turns up
thinking he is already at the guest house. The situation spirals out of
control as John juggles outrageously with the truth.
“A masterclass in the art of farce... The perfectly potty plot is a
precession built laughter machine.”
The thriller chronicles the mass break-out in 1983 of 38 prisoners from
the Maze high security prison in Northern Ireland. The film focuses on
Larry Marley (Love/Hate’s Tom Vaughan-Lawlor), the chief architect of
the escape, who strikes up a complex friendship with Gordon (Barry
Ward), a prison warden.
Stephen Burke’s film works as a tense, exciting drama - there’s plenty
of twists, scheming and unlikely allegiances as the inmates put
together a complex, risky plan. But this also is a powerful piece of
historical storytelling, highlighting the complex morality of the Troubles
and exploring the motivations & beliefs of the various factions who
have to live or work in the prison. Vaughan-Lawlor and Ward both do a
superb job here.
The Maze escape remains one of the most dramatic chapters in
modern Irish & British history. This confident, accomplished film does
the story justice.
Starring: Martin McCann, Niamh McGrady, Elva Trill, Eileen Walsh,
Barry Ward and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor.

prolific singer/songwriter/musician for over 50 years and has had
two number one singles ‘Winner in You’ on the RTE label and ‘Inner
City’ which was recorded by The Jolly Beggarmen. Rob Strong,
from Derry, on bass guitar and lead vocals, is another of Ireland’s
Living Legends, who also has been performing for more than five
decades. Rob still has that unique and sensational voice that saw
him pull in huge crowds with one of the top showbands of the day,‘
The Plattermen’, and his own band The Rockets in the 1970s.
All in all, Don, Rob and the boys, guarantee a great
night of rock n’ roll.
