The Life of Riley

The Life of Riley is at once a comic masterpiece and a tragic account of one man’s wilful descent into a glorious life of beggardom. Having left his job as Assistant ot the Secretary of the Irish Grocer’s Association, Riley is free to spend his days and nights perfecting the art of blagging a drink at O’Turks pub, unimpeded by responsibility. A masterful portrait of the Irish at home and abroad. The Life of Riley will take you from sauntering through Dublin streets and slums, London pubs and labour exchanges in the company of a vibrant cast of misfit characters.
