Great Review!
So, on August 11, the Kid Shamrock crew got together one more time to put the play up as part of a professional boxing event at Plattdeutsche Park in Long Island. Everyone from the old gang was back: Former Heavyweight champ Michael Bentt directing, retired pro middleweight boxer John Duddy as the young Kid Shamrock, retired pro boxer Seamus McDonagh as the older Kid Shamrock, former pros Mark Breland, Mark McPherson and Junior Jones, actors Patrick Connolly and Vinny Vella (from The Sopranos and almost every other mob film you can think of...), Jim Walsh and Ian McGrady, and a slew of other up and comers on the boxing circuit. And of course, Bobby Cassidy, the subject of the play, opened and closed the show with his touching monologues.
New to the show this time were boxing referee Arthur Mercante Jr. and Randy Gordon, former boxing commissioner.
I was surrounded by boxing royalty. Giddy! Giddy, I was!
Two of our cast members, Mike Brooks and Richie Nieves, also fought later that evening. And both won... of course.
