Grown-Ups, The

Grown-Ups, The
exciting new work dissecting the thirty-something preoccupation with status. Very much a play of our times, the Grown-Ups is a gripping examination of the way we live now and the thirty-something preoccupation with status, materialism and what it really means to be a 'grown-up' in contemporary Ireland. 'You've no money, no career, no substance. You're renting these days, people think there's something wrong with you.' Alan and Nicola are a couple desperate to keep pace with the boom time. However, when alan's sister amy is involved in a scandal, Alan finds himself questioning his values and wondering if success can truly be measured by money, ambition and material gain. the Grown-Ups is a modern-day thriller that has at its heart the malaise of a society 'seduced by extravagance'.
