Summary
  • St. Nicholas finds an aging jaded theatre critic recounting his obsession with a young actress, and how that obsession leads to a journey into a macabre world of vampires from which he almost can't escape. (1M).
  • In This Lime Tree Bower, three young men from a Dublin seaside town tell their overlapping recollections of one fateful night that included a rape, an embarrassing episode at a college lecture, and a robbery done for retribution that ties it all together. (3M).
  • In the sobering one-man play Rum and Vodka, a young alcoholic recounts the events that follow after he loses his job -- from the feud with his wife to the bender that might finally help him realize what's important in life. (1M).
  • The Good Thief is another one-man play wherein a ruffian reveals the remorse and regret he feels after a botched job leads to murder, kidnapping, and finally a desperate flee that results in unfortunate casualties and imprisonment. (1M).
