Oct 31st
Alone It Stands**
GB TVM 2007. Headgate Theatre.

I saw the DVD at home the other night of Tony Billings' meticulous filming of the first non-professional production of John Breen's play, about a famous rugby union match on 31st October 1978 between Munster and New Zealand, filmed over a number of separate performances.
Whilst many of the aspects of the production are inevitably more theatrical than cinematic, there are still plenty of lively and amusing moments which come through strongly on screen, and it certainly showcases an impressive display of energetic and versatile acting.
