Synopsis
Bolandstown are a ‘no-hoper’ under-18s camogie team whose fortunes are transformed by the arrival of an ace manager. As they make their way through the cup campaign, the dynamics of the girls’ relationships with each other spiral toward a betrayal, which is compounded by the manager’s dark secret. Rich with comedy as well as the excitement of staged matches; A Man’s Game is a script full of opportunity for youth theatres to explore interesting contemporary young characters and themes as well as having a choral singing element.
