On March 11, 2011, celebrate St. Patrick’s Day early with the Freehold Borough Arts Council (FBAC)! The FBAC will present a benefit film screening of the new comedy based on the international bestseller by Tony Hawks, "Round Ireland with a Fridge"
The movie begins after a night of drinking when Tony Hawks accepts a bet that he cannot hitchhike the perimeter of Ireland with a refrigerator. During the course of a month, Tony has one of the most unforgettable experiences of his life. This new comedy road movie proves that, no matter how gloomy things seem, open the fridge door and a little light comes on.
The novel has been described as “a classic travel adventure in the tradition of Bill Bryson with a dash of Dave Barry.” The New York Times Book Review called it a "ridiculous and sublime example of the high-concept travel book ... and the sweet bottom line is that anything that brings people together and shows them this good of a time isn't stupid at all."
This benefit screening, the first showing in the United States, will be preceded by short films provided by the Irish Film Institute, Reel Ireland and Culture Ireland. After the feature, there will be a live Skype question and answer session with the author and actor, Tony Hawks.
Please join the FBAC on March 11, 2011, at 7:00 pm, in the American Hotel’s Majestic Ballroom, located at 18-20 East Main Street, Freehold, New Jersey.
