Characters: 2 male Bare stage "A Couple of Blaguards", a two-man show by literary greats Frank and Malachy McCourt, is a bubbling stew of their well-known humor with a dash of poignancy to sharpen the flavor. A comedic springboard for "Angela's Ashes, 'Tis," and Malachy's "A Monk Swimmin'" this brilliantly structured comedy is a proven crowd-pleaser offering solid entertainment. Similar to Frank McCourt's best-selling novels, the story follows the trials of the young McCourts in poverty-stricken Limerick, Ireland, to their journey to the U.S. and Brooklyn, New York, where the young men learn to incorporate the day-to-day lessons of their hard Irish past. A story of immigration, triumph over hardship, and the love between family, "A Couple of Blaguards" is a theatrical event that will find a place in the heart of every audience member."MEMORABLE! The brothers McCourt bring their two best selling books to the stage... the show has a roguish appeal" - Peter Marks, "The New York Times" "An unholy amount of charm!" - "The Washington Post" "Mixes the sweetness and kick of an Irish coffee." - "Newsday"
A Couple of Blaguards Reviews
-
If you've never read the McCourts' & like reading plays I highly recommend this play. If you've read the McCourts this is just a rehashing of their other work.

I love these guys!
-
Very short play in which Frank and Malachy recall incidents from their lives that made them what they are today. Having read all of their other books, I realized it was all a repeat.
