Whores, sailors, pimps and revolutionaries at the forefront of a war of identity.

In 1958 the British announce the impending execution of an IRA man, the IRA retaliate by taking a cockney soldier hostage. They keep him at a Dublin boarding house with a circus of eccentric characters, each with their own views on the etiquette of war.

Sure to be a brilliant revival of a great piece from one of the most prolific Irish writers.
