The Man Who Swallowed a Dictionary

The Man Who Swallowed A Dictionary, a new play by Bobby Niblock, about the life of ex UVF and PUP politician, David Ervine returns to the Lyric.

This one-man show chronicles the remarkable life of Ervine, from the backstreets of East Belfast to Long Kesh prisoner to political negotiations at the White House and Downing Street. From his personal family tragedies to becoming the man who is widely regarded as the person who did most to deliver the Protestant working class to support the Good Friday Agreement.
