Reading through some of the press on the epic win in Toulouse today, I saw it compared to that famous victory over the All Blacks that every Munster fan will never let the world forget about. By extension, I thought of the resulting play.
The idea struck me then of the idea of our own play based around the weekends events.
All the basic Hollywood ingredients are there: a team down on their luck, losing faith in the coach, a seemingly unbeatable opposition, a mix of grizzled old pros and young rookies. We then add to this the human element of the many fans who travelled, the pints, the air traffic control business that I think held some up, more pints, the immaculate sideburns of Dan Parks and maybe write in a marriage proposal at full time.
Then we harvest some Arts Council grants (get Sean McGinley on board for this as his presence is obligatory) and premiere the play at the Arts Festival before a worldwide tour. All tax free through a U2 style operation, which is funnelled back into making the team European giants.
Anyone care to get the ball rolling on the cast?
