Synopsis

Against the turbulent backdrop of Belfast in the 1980s, fellow barbers Colm, a Catholic, and George, a Protestant, form an unlikely partnership to comer the toupee market in Northern Ireland. But with rival hairpiece company Toupee or Not Toupee getting a jump on the competition, Colm and George have to come up with some creative sales techniques to bring a different kind of piece to Northern Ireland.

Barry Levinson directed AN EVERLASTING PIECE from a screenplay by Barry McEvoy, who also stars as Colm, with Brian F O'Byrne (two-time Tony nominee for "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" and "The Lonesome West" on Broadway) starring as George. The film also stars Anna Friel (A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM) and popular Scottish actor/comedian Billy Connolly (MRS BROWN, INDECENT PROPOSAL).
