The Union

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Adrian Kavanagh 

  • Synopsis

    The Union is a dramatic retelling of the rise and fall of St. Dominic's Student Union. Five erstwhile colleagues are locked in one room knowing that one of them stole the €10,060 fundraised cash that their reputations, hopes, dreams, careers and election campaigns are hinged on. Backs will be stabbed, hearts will be broke and throats will be cut. The clock is ticking. We're going to see how united this Union really is.
