MAGPIE

By Andrew Cusack

Starring Andrew Cusack, Johnjoe Irwin

and Gavin Stewart

Two brothers divided by hate, reunited by fate. Set in the chilling confines of Kilmainham Gaol during Ireland’s Civil War, 1923. Magpie tells the story of Michael and Patrick Murphy. Michael, an IRA gunman scarred by the trenches of WWI, now faces his brother Patrick, a Free State jailer.

By 1924, Ireland had endured almost a decade of relentless war—both abroad and at home. Families, friendships, and entire communities lay shattered by conflict. Against this backdrop, Magpie probes the complexities of loyalty—between kin, country, and ideology—offering a haunting exploration of the personal cost of revolution.
