 This
one man play written by the award winning actor Conor McPherson, is
performed and co-directed by Roy Donoghue.
Donoghue
relates the story of an enforcer for Joe Murray, a Northern Irish shady
character, who has acquired Greta from the hard man. Given what should be a
simple job of frightening Mitchell into paying back rent, things go badly
astray and end up in shooting, death and alleged kidnapping of Mitchell's
wife and daughter.
Evading
initial capture the trio flee north and hide out with the assistance of a
acquaintance, until it all goes wrong.
This
interesting story is well written and Donoghue excels in the
characterisation of everybody involved in the story. The simple set is
used imaginatively to create illusions of every scene that is required.
I
found this an excellent piece of early evening entertainment, and it
really deserves bigger audiences.
