I was called with news that I am doing a different character at rehearsal Sunday-I love the character and it's cool role, but I'm soooooooooooo nervous! Send the good vibes!

What are some Irish movies good to watch for stero-typical working class dialect.

I'm sending my Good Vibes again! WoooooooooHoooooooo!

Irish: I haven't seen it, but I'm sure "Angela's Ashes" would be a good source. And "Far and Away". Hope that helps.

oh, "The Boxer" starring our Taurus brother :) Daniel-Day Lewis. Basically any D-DL movies-he seems to play a lot of Irishmen, for a Brit. Let's not forget Gangs of New York----that's all about the working class Irish....

What's the character? North/south? Urban/rural?

That's the dumb thing--since it's a silly quirky show, the directors just want crazy stero typical, with as much of an Irish working class mixed in (as much as can be audible for a lazy eared American audience)

Then I'd probably go with something like "Waking Ned Devine" or the TV series "Ballykissangel." Most of the best movies of late ("The Boxer," "In the Name of the Father," etc.) are set in the urban North; the accent is probably too idiosyncratic for your purposes.

Cool. Thanks!

Oh and, the play technically takes place around Sligo.

Thank you thank you!

Have you met my friend Emilie yet? All I know is that she does some sorta kung-fu samurai fighting in your show. She is tall-ish with bright blonde hair.
