Synopsis
22nd May, 1998. Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The result for the Good Friday Agreement Referendum has just been announced.
Four mostly hungover, twenty-somethings come together, to use the historic outcome as an excuse to drink all over again.
Although they claim to have no interest in "that boring news on the telly" - as the night draws on, their true feelings for their country, and each other, will be revealed.
Good Gracious, Good Friday is a nostalgic look back at a huge turning point in Northern Ireland's history, filled with pastie suppers, Gerry Adams' beard, Supermarket Sweep and the truth behind the mysterious 'Norn Iron' codenames Plates and Cups ...
