Synopsis


When an ambitious reporter enters a maximum-security prison to interview a powerful drug lord, he expects to expose corruption and crime from a safe moral distance. Instead, the conversation twists into a confrontation, as the prisoner gradually reveals that the reporter himself is a customer of the very cartel he seeks to condemn. What begins as an exposé becomes a dangerous unmasking, where privilege, hypocrisy, and society’s double standards collide.

The play holds a mirror up to both journalist and audience, asking: who truly sustains the world we claim to oppose?

Synopsis

Set in 2009. The Celtic Tiger is dead, Ireland has fallen into recession, “there’s job losses, scandals and bad weather” … but most of all there is the pressure of meeting loan repayments! Luckily, you can drop into the local pub to share your worries and drown your sorrows! Into this mix throw menacing strangers, a village simpleton, a credit-trapped farmer and a love hungry barmaid, what could possibly go wrong! This hilarious one-act comedy reminds us it is always better to ask than to assume!
