New York hosts the world’s oldest and largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade down Fifth Avenue, where thousands march amid cheers and sea of green - an annual spectacle rooted in centuries of Irish heritage. Yet the city’s Celtic spirit doesn’t take a winter break: from “St. Pat’s for All,” an inclusive Queens parade celebrating diversity, to the New York Irish Center’s culture-packed “40 Shades of Green” marathon and Stone Street’s iconic St. Paddy’s block party, Irish traditions pulse year-round. Local pubs and cultural organizations from festive pub crawls to dance nights and community workshops keep the fun going in every season.

Ulster American by David Ireland is a savagely funny play that dissects the intersection of identity politics, ego, privilege, and the Northern Irish Troubles with satirical precision. On the evening before rehearsals begin for her new work, Ulster-born playwright Ruth Davenport visits the home of English director Leigh Carver, along with Oscar-winning Hollywood star Jay Conway who has just arrived in London to star in the world premiere. What begins as a cordial gathering to discuss the upcoming production quickly descends into a brutal psychological brawl as egos, ideologies, and historical baggage collide. A theatrical hand grenade disguised as a drawing-room comedy, Ulster American explosively reveals some raw contradictions at the heart of modern storytelling and political posturing. In 2018, Ulster American was produced at the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Fringe. It won a Scotsman Fringe First and the Critics Award for Theatre in Scotland for Best New Play. Ulster American was revived by Second Half Productions at the Riverside Studios, London in 2023 featuring Woody Harrelson, Andy Serkis and Louisa Harland.
