NEW YORK—Who could guess that a play consisting only of political talk in Ireland, could hold the interest of an American audience. But, to my mind, the Lyric Theatre production of Owen McCafferty’s “Agreement,” coming from Belfast, holds the audience, and then some.
The play deals with an event from about 25 years ago, during the five-day negotiations of several Irish and British political parties. The hoped-for solution is to curtail the long-lasting violence between Ireland’s north and south.
