The Safety Catch

This event has ended

The New Theatre, Tuesday 1st November - Saturday 12th November

What would you put on the line to become the very greatest at what you do? What if that was one of the most dangerous sports on the planet, a sport that close members of your own family had paid the ultimate price for while pursuing the very same goal?

Motorcycle road racing is one of the most dangerous sports in the world. It’s also the family business of the Dunlop Clan, Ireland’s most famous sporting family. Claiming over 250 competitors over the years, the Isle of Man TT is both the crucible of motorcycle racing, as well as one of its’ most terrifying circuits.

We join Michael Dunlop on the eve of the TT after his elder brother, William, had become the latest member of his family to be taken while following his passion on the roads. In a moving and riveting dialogue with his mentor, Liam Beckett, his late father’s best friend and mechanic, Michael now must decide whether to go on racing or whether to save himself and his family more exposure to the risk of the racing on the roads.
