In the mid-1970s a group of young men left their homes in the West
of Ireland, took the boat out of Dublin Bay and sailed across the
sea to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning
home. Twenty-five years later only one, Jackie Flavin, makes it
home, but does so in a coffin. The Kings of the Kilburn High Road
takes place on the day that the winners and losers of the group
meet up to drink to Jackie Flavin's memory and looks at their
lives, lost dreams and their place in the new Ireland. Brothers of
the Brush is a 'subtle unsentimental lament for the working class'
(Irish Times) in which house painters, patching over the cracks of
an old house, misuse each other for their own advantage. In a world
blighted by economic recession, with workers losing faith in old
ideologies, this play demonstrates just how fragile allegiances are
when personal interests are at stake. (Winner of the Dublin
Festival Best New Play Award)
