Interview with Roddy Doyle on The Commitments, the musical show Doyle adapted to the stage from his novel by the same name. The Commitments went to the Palace Theatre in London's West End in 2013 and is directed by Jamie Lloyd who had recently directed the Trafalgar Transformed production of Macbeth, starring James McAvoy. 

Here Roddy Doyle talks about writing The Commitments, his ambition to make people laugh, and how people say the story encapsulates the experience of being in a band in Ireland in the past.
