Dublin’s Emmet Rovers is a ramshackle soccer team with a history of demoralizing defeat – both on the field and off. Enter Walter Keegan (Brendan Gleeson), the team’s determined new manager. With a mysterious past and a violent temper, Keegan is greeted at first with suspicion but his unorthodox methods (which include insisting that the team remain dry) soon yield results and Emmet Rovers rocket to the top of the league. Adapted by Paul Mercier from his own hit play, Studs is a hilarious comedy in the tradition of The Commitments and The Full Monty.  Gleeson gives a powerhouse comic performance and is ably supported by a terrific cast featuring David Wilmot and Enna MacLiam.  “On the ball . . .
