Dissident
Synopsis:
What's the last thing you do when you're down on your luck and living in a stinky Waterford bedsit? Probably go work for a shadowy dissident group, particularly if your best friend Donal promises 'no questions asked'. Well that's exactly what Martin does; no wonder it's not long before he yearns for the good old days when he was just separated, out of work and broke. Before long Martin is swimming with sharks, except he's not so much swimming as drowning and when his other best pal Eric tries to help, well he just makes things worse. And all that's before Martin meets the beautiful Aoibheann, who promptly has an 'accident'. Life then for this 'card carrying coward' could hardly get any worse, except of course it does. Pat Daly's blistering new play will either see Martin get the money and the girl, or end up with a fatal dose of lead poisoning.

Pilferers, The
Synopsis:
the Pilferers is the story of four lads who connive to rob the local Post Office. While the play details the planning and executing of the botched job, it is more concerned with the unravelling relationships of the four young men as they are forced to make an uncomfortable decision - to either go down together or give up one of their gang to save the others.
Notes:
the Pilferers was originally presented As part of Red Kettle's Three Be Wan festival of new one-act plays, Alongside 'When I was God' by Conal Creedon And 'Navy Knickers And Other Hang-Ups' by Kate Sweeny (both listed separately).
