About Agreement

The clock is ticking. It’s April 1998 and the main political parties in Northern Ireland, the British government and the Irish government, all under the watchful eye of Senator George Mitchell, try to hammer out a deal that could pave the way for peace in Northern Ireland. This is their last chance, and no one is leaving until agreement is reached.

Awarded an "outstanding" five stars by the Irish Times, the Lyric Theatre's critically acclaimed production of AGREEMENT comes to NYC after two sold-out, record-breaking runs in Belfast.

Fast-paced, Dense, Great directing

See it if you like detailed & energetic political "how the sausage is made" behind-the-scenes plays, (similar to much superior Oslo) with a great cast

Don’t see it if if you're not in the mood to watch deeply opposed political adversaries negotiate & find ways to compromise. It's been done before, better.

Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if You are interested in how the Good Friday agreement finally happened. Are familiar with the personalities & politics. Some liberties taken.

Don’t see it if You know nothing about the agreement & key players. A printed program would've been hugely helpful, though I remembered enough going in.
