October 15 - November 2, 2025

by Marie Jones
directed by Emma Gibson (Nora: A Doll’s House, The New Electric Ballroom)

“It was a Monday, it was raining, everybody you came across was in a bad mood, even our Jack Russell has his head between his paws…”

Irish playwright Marie Jones brings her signature wit to a dark comedy where the everyday collides with the absurd. Francis and Loretta, two cash-strapped community care workers, are on their way to another routine visit to their patient, Davey McGee, a lonely man dedicated to his newspaper, horse races, and memories of Frank Sinatra. The day takes an unexpected turn for poor Davey, as Jones spins a sharply funny tale exploring what happens when ordinary people are tempted with extraordinary (if not slightly outrageous) opportunities.
