"There was this guy on Billy's job, same age as me. He's got a wife, kids, place of his own! We were talking and he asked me where I lived. I was almost ashamed to answer him! I look at meself in the mirror and I think, 'What bird in her right mind would go with you?'"

Reel

Plot Summary:

Set in Baltimore, Reel is a musical, the third of the trilogy. The play centers around Morgan, a phenomenal Irish dancer, who, for all his talent, cannot enjoy it, because he has set himself up as the protector of Ireland's heritage. The show looks at the effects of his single-mindedness on him and those in his circle. If he could go home, would anyone want him?
