THEATRE
Call Yourself an Irishman?
by Declan Duffy, directed by David Alexander
You're born in one country, but your parents come from a different one. So what does that make you? A show about Ireland, Britain, and never quite knowing which nationality you are.
“Funny, informative and thought-provoking. Totally relatable to second- and third-generation Irish.” The Irish World
"A show deserving of greater, wider things - it’s ambitious, intelligent and funny” - London Pub Theatres
"Call Yourself an Irishman? is thoughtful, funny, moving, and deeply engaging. You’ll find yourself captivated and enthralled as Duffy navigates his story with charm, intelligence, and openness." - London Theatre 1

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
