Overview
Don't know where I stand with the weatherman
these days. One day it's all warm and breezy and the next old Jack Frost comes
to take the skin off your back.
A twelve year old Romanian girl is trafficked into London.
Her captor, a city landlord known as Dollar, entrusts her to the care of his
tenants O'Rourke and Beezer; a pair of down-and-out bachelors sharing lodgings
in the East End. But with no reliable details of the girl's past, vague
speculation as to the reason for her arrival and no common language with which
to communicate, for how long and at what price can the involvement of her new
guardians be bought?
Eugene O'Hare's debut black comedy shines a light on
complicity, power and the secrets and lies woven behind closed doors and
examines the no go lines that are crossed when it's too dangerous to run away.
