Corktown
TICKET GIVEAWAY: Win one of four pairs of tickets to see "Corktown '57" at the Odyssey Theater on Friday, April 17. Emotions run high and battle lines are drawn when family and political loyalties collide in John Fazakerley's powerful new family drama set in the Philadelphia Irish community of "Corktown." Home to Irish immigrants since the early part of the 20th century, this Philadelphia community was a hotbed of pro-Irish activity that reached its climax in the late 1950s - a time when Irish Republican Army splinter groups had begun to advocate violence against civilian targets as a strategy to drive Britain out of Ireland.
