My short play “Hibernian Exit” recently featured as part of 100 Minutes 2009 which ran for twelve performances at the Samuel Beckett Theatre in Dublin.
Thanks are due to the director, Will Irvine, and especially the actors, Aidan Jordan, Claudia Schwartz, and the amazing Lorna Quinn.
The play concerns an extraterrestrial intervention in the affairs of a country battered by financial crisis and skyrocketing unemployment:
ADMIRAL: Let me guess…you want me to rescue this little band of Celts, is that it? And how do you suggest, young Meindroid, we get this shower of saints and scholars across six dimensions and up the back arse of a galactic wormhole?
MEINDROID: We could use the Moving Statues strategy, your welcomeness.
ADMIRAL: Stupid robot!
MEINDROID: Quite so, your Majesty.
