Ulster Loyalist Alan Black is kept awake every night by his neighbour McCorrick’s dog barking. To add to his difficulties, McCorrick refuses to acknowledge that he even owns a dog, let alone one that is creating a disturbance.

In a Northern Ireland he barely recognises, where politics has proved just to be the continuation of war by other means, a disconsolate Alan sets out to rid himself of the incessant noise.

As he seeks help from authority figures, he finally – as a very last resort – turns to the only voice he can really trust, Eammon Holmes…

Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the partition of Ireland and the foundation of Northern Ireland, Yes So I Said Yes is a blackly comic, ferocious, dystopian satire about what it’s like to feel alone in a place where everyone else is conspiring to erase you and your history.

Playwright David Ireland, the multi award-winning author of Cyprus Avenue, returns to the Finborough Theatre following the critically acclaimed English premiere of Everything Between Us; and director Max Elton returns to the Finborough Theatre following his “excellent production” (The Guardian) of Israel Zangwill’s play The Melting Pot.

As a special event on Wednesday, 1 December, there will be a Q&A session after the performance of Yes So I Said Yes which will take place in the theatre auditorium. It will feature playwright David Ireland, director Max Elton and cast members. The event will be moderated by  Sue Healy, Literary Manager of the Finborough Theatre. Performance + Q&A tickets must be purchased together for this special performance and will be £30 (£28 concessions) for the performance and Q&A.

As an intimate theatre venue, we are taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of performers, staff, and audience members during the current pandemic. We have reduced our audience capacity to 80% and temporarily increased our ticket prices to reflect this. Due to the size of our auditorium, FULL FACE COVERINGS MUST BE WORN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE. Drinks will not be permitted in the auditorium. We will be reviewing these protocols every month and will lift them as soon as it is safe to do so. For full information, please see our Covid-19 Policy page.
