About this ebook
A poignant and gripping tale told through three interlinking monologues from the multi-award winning author of The Weir.
Three young men from a small seaside town near Dublin tell us in overlapping monologues of their inextricably linked lives and the eventful week which was to change things for good...
Winner of a Thames TV Award, a Guinness/National Theatre Ingenuity Award and the Meyer Whitworth Award.
'A touching, marvellously entertaining play which tells a gripping tale with assured panache. This is a piece of real richness' - Daily Telegraph
