OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Mike Finn  Terry Devlin 

  • Synopsis

    This one-man show tells the story of a young man who waits outside a Limerick nightclub for his sometime girlfriend to arrive. As he waits he examines the ups and downs of his life, the contents of his pockets, a nearby dustbin and the city life he sees around him in an attempt to discover the meaning of it all, and more importantly, the money for a taxi home. At the same time, the actor portraying him has a few choice words to add about the actor's life.
