OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Caitríona Daly 

  • Setting

    Galway, Ireland, 2016-2019.

  • Synopsis

    The story of Chris Quinn, a young man who, in an attempt to help his friend Davey, becomes deeply embroiled in a rape allegation. As the rules change, and confusion reigns supreme, Chris struggles between loyalty, love and doubt. Full of moral ambiguity and psychological complexity, the play shifts our perspective on ideas of consent, trust, and trial by social media.
