The Bluffer's Guide to Suburbia

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Raymond Scannell 

  • Synopsis

    It’s nearly 20 years since Finn left his family home in the Dublin suburbs. But his music career has gone down the tubes, the blinding London lights have burned him out, and he’s on the ferry home with empty pockets and his guitar strap between his legs. From the concrete jungle of the N31 to a painfully hip music festival on the Aran Islands, this play with live music and original songs exposes a generation of adult children living back in the home, struggling to fit into the nuclear family ideal, and trying to make music in the face of rental crises and global catastrophe.
