A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Drama / 4m
Jimmy Murphy
"Do not, repeat, do not miss." - London Sunday Times "Tremendous.... Shares with Skylight the title of Best New Play in London." - London Guardian "Riveting." - London Evening Star
Lauded as one of the year's best in London, this remarkable first play is a gripping study of shifting alliances fueled by cut throat economics in the building trades. Three house painters working for a shifty contractor live in states of financial desperation: Lars is a family man with a crippling mortgage; Hemo has five kids and a drinking problem, and Jack has just taken out a loan. When Lars, not Jack, is asked to be the foreman on the upcoming factory job, a strike and a bloody battle for survival are triggered.
Abbey Theatre, Peacock stage, as part of the 1993 Dublin Theatre Festival. Winner of Best New Play.
