Synopsis: | Christy Quinn and his young business partner, Jude Caffrey, run a dubious hackney service that never seems to have any cars available. Danny McQuaid might be the owner of seven taxi plates which are not currently in use. McQuaid is in need of help from his old pal, Christy, to get him out of a bit of difficulty in whatever his current business may be. Deviousness, criminality and incompetence become increasingly entangled as the three try to do business without telling the other two exactly what it is they do. Danny is feeling increasingly taunted by Jude's references to young Tracey, who might be Jude's girlfriend, or Danny's daughter, or neither or both. And why, or how, is Christy separated from his badminton-playing wife Catherine? And just who or what is 'The Duke', and why are the gardai busy in their cars tonight? | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | It's a Cultural Thing, or is it? offers a fast-paced sequence of stories that are a microcosm of the history of the Traveller Community over the past 40 years. It chronicles Michael's personal journey from living in a barrel-top wagon as a child on the road with his family, to their move to Dublin and the end of the traditional way of life. Along the way, he must convince his daughter to stay in school-an unconventional point of view for Travellers long resistant to assimilation. Mobile is a courageous one-man play that explores the contentious issue of feuding between Traveller families from the inside out. Based on material generated from workshops, the play seeks to shed light on a subject that continues to be a source of puzzlement and dismay to settled people | |||||
