It is New Year's Eve in Dublin, 1959. On the rooftop of 44 Seville Place, ten-year-old Peter Sheridan clings to the steel rod of a television antenna, turning it toward England. Pictures from a foreign place beam into the family's living room and change their lives forever. As the 1960s unfold, the Sheridans experience all the decade has to offer: sex, the Beatles, drugs, and the Troubles in Belfast. One of the best-known figures in Irish contemporary theater, Peter Sheridan recounts these hilarious, awkward, and heartbreaking years with exquisite timing and dramatic precision. Honest, sharp-witted, and compassionate, 44: Dublin Made Me draws us into this loving family as we explore the Dublin that shaped Sheridan.
