Dublin Festival and Abbey Theatre debut for new young Irish writer in the mode of Conor The Weir McPherson A Dublin taxi driver is accidentally stabbed with a used hypodermic. He decides not to tell his wife and two teenage kids about the incident until it is already too late. This brings to the surface other lies buried within the family, raising provocative questions of whether it is better to conceal or tell all...This brand new play by a new 'discovery' is one of the Abbey Theatre's showcase productions at the Dublin Theatre Festival in October 2002. It marks the debut of yet another young working-class Dublin writer in the vein of Conor McPherson and Mark O'Rowe - born story-tellers with an apparently natural gift for striking dialogue and lived-in characters. The Abbey Theatre is Ireland's National Theatre, with a prodigious reputation for bringing on the best of new Irish writing from the days of Yeats and Synge through Sean O'Casey to the present generation. The Dublin Theatre Festival - with its accompanying Fringe - is Ireland's equivalent of the Edinburgh Festival, and an important source of exciting new plays.Product Identifiers
