Today’s podcast is a unique one! A funny thing, it’s a challenge to get a writer in a room to talk, let alone a few writers at one time! So, with the help of Luna Theater Company, Associate Artistic Director, Aaron Oster sat down with the brains of their PIFA offering, “FUTURE FEST”! Thanks to everyone for taking the time. I may just phone’em in from now on! Stay Tuned!

ABOUT THE HAND OF GAUL

The Hand of Gaul
Written by Jared Michael Delaney
Directed by Tom Reing
Starring Adam Altman, Megan Bellwoar, Damon Bonetti, Jared Michael Delaney, Leonard Haas, and Harry Smith

April 9-28

When French soccer superstar Thierry Henry single-handedly knocks Ireland out of the 2010 World Cup with an unchecked foul, three fiercely proud (albeit not overly bright) Irish fans decide to avenge their team. This Inis Nua original takes on World Cup elimination and the fall of the Celtic Tiger as international intrigue, a rare Belgian beer and the world’s most popular sport come together in unexpected ways.
