RTE soap ‘Fair City’ star Maclean Burke stars in new play ‘Joe Prop’.

It is the story of a 12 year old boy, Joe Kavanagh, who has a big dream. A dream big enough to overcome any obstacle. A childhood illness and subsequent medication has left him overweight and a target for School bullies who among other things have dedicated a Facebook page to him called 'Fat Joe Kavanagh' 200 likes. Joe finds solace on the School Rugby team as a prop in the scrum. As his coach says 'Some jobs are meant for big guys’. The play is set in Joe's bedroom.

A place far away from bullies, and illness where he gets to be the greatest Tight Head Prop in world rugby and captain of a winning Irish Rugby World Cup team. With a voice over cameos from a host of well known rugby personalities - this is a play for the whole family. 'Joe Prop' will have you laughing, crying but most of all it will have you believing that anything is possible! Starring Maclean Burke - leaping, tackling, jumping, scrummaging in a physically charged and powerful performance.
