Malahide woman’s musical is coming home to Dublin

AN international award winning Irish musical is coming home for one night only. 

Direct from its USA premiere, ‘Big Shot’ will take to the stage at Dublin’s Liberty Hall Theatre on Thursday, November 5. 

Written and composed by Lauryn Gaffney (22), from Malahide, ‘Big Shot’ received outstanding critical acclaim at the San Diego International Fringe Festival earlier this year.

Big Shot tells the story of Jeremy Crocker, a savvy defense lawyer thriving in New York City’s bustling legal profession.  

Despite his ambitions, Crocker falls in love with Carrie, a struggling Irish artist who works in Crocker’s go-to café in Downtown Manhattan. Although the two become ever more infatuated by each other, this threatens to derail Crocker’s career, with regard to the dubious new defence case he has taken on. 

Does Crocker follow his heart or stick with his legal client obligations? The theme of the story is love, justice and living in the moment.

In April 2013, ‘Big Shot’ debuted at The Helix, DCU, and was also performed at St Patrick’s College, where Lauryn studied.
