Ronan Noone’s one man play set in
Mid-West America is a morality play for modern times. Those who
ruthlessly seek fame at all costs may find themselves in a situation
out with their control with disastrous consequences. David Sullivan
skilfully plays Augustine Early who realises from a young age he has
a particular talent for deception and religious belief is not for
him. Allied with his desire to be famous he decides the profession
for him is journalism.
His method of working up the journalistic
tree is to take individuals into his confidence and then reveal all
for the sake of a good story. Unfortunately, the one opportunity he
has to share genuine feelings in a relationship is destroyed by a
chance occurrence. The whole play centres on the making of a video
diary with an unexpected twist at the end.
A compelling piece of theatre.
