I Keano is a comedy musical play about footballer Roy Keane leaving the Republic of Ireland national football team before the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

It is written by myself, Arthur Mathews and Michael Nugent, and is presented as a mock-epic melodrama about an ancient Roman legion preparing for war.

In its first two years, it had sales of over half a million tickets, generating €10m ($13m) in ticket sales.

My main contribution was the music. It was a brilliant project to work on. I managed to mangle all types of musical genres - from Opera to country to Jacque Brel. I didn't write 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which unfortunately many people consider to be the highlight of the production.
