Ten years on from the Regency Hotel shooting, a one-man play about Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch is returning to the stage in the Ambassador Theatre after last year’s sold-out run. Written and performed by Rex Ryan, son of the late broadcaster Gerry Ryan, the show charts the life of one of Ireland’s most infamous and divisive figures.

So, does putting his story onstage risk humanising, even glamorising, a violent chapter in recent Irish history?
