"A Brief History of Irish Music" at the 2013 Minnesota Fringe Festival: Drinking, Dying, and Doing It

A Brief History of Irish Music  is more of a concert with banter than a play about the history of Irish music.  Which is good, because the music is much more interesting.  Featuring The Dregs, a local folk band known for singing at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, the show is an excuse to hear some toe-tapping music.  The players gently take umbrage at the tendency to stereotyping the Irish as drunks or depressives and then proceed to sing a lot of songs about drunk depressed Irish.  It's all played for laughs.  Towards the end of the show the audience gets to sing along.  A fun time at the New Century Theatre.
