The David vs. Goliath story of the all-amateur Munster rugby team tackling the might of the All Blacks jumps from modern Irish folklore onto the stage, with as much heart and excitement as any nail-biting football match.
John Breen’s fast and funny play is a showcase for the cast of six, taking on 62 roles including players, wives, fans, the coach and…the team dog.
Hilarious, moving and heart-warming, ALONE IT STANDS ultimately makes winners of us all. You’ll be hooked!

Just a hop, skip and a jump north of the bridge from the CBD, Ensemble Theatre is situated in a heritage-listed boatshed on the water in Kirribilli.
TRAIN The next stop north after Wynyard Station, take the train to Milsons Point station, exit at Ennis Rd and it’s just a 5 minute walk down Willoughby Street.
FERRY The most scenic way to travel, treat yourself and jump on a ferry from Circular Quay to Milsons Point (a 10 – 15 minute walk) or Kirribilli Wharf (also, a 10 – 15 minute walk).
CAR There’s free (but time-limited) street parking all around the theatre. Please allow ample time to park before your performance or booking at Bayly’s Bistro.
