    Shelter received a rehearsed reading as part of the Druid Debut series during the 2016 Galway International Arts Festival. 

  • Synopsis

    Fus is front–page news, but not all news is good. As he hides out in a disused warehouse, he soon learns that Tommy has lost his job and their hideaway is under threat. As friends trickle through the building, they drink, dance, row and reminisce while the clock counts down.
