Batman - One Bad Day 4: Mr. Freeze

When was the last time you had a lucky streak? Spanish Harlem, NYC, 1999 – A young man fleeing Dublin crash lands on the sofa of his Irish-American cousin, as this older cousin’s relationship with his Dominican girlfriend is imploding. Over the summer they cling to the last vestiges of the dying club scene and flirt with smalltime criminality as storm clouds gather... Part love triangle, crime thriller and immigrant story, Run / Don’t Run is a provocative and accessible new play first performed by Bigger Picture Projects in February 2015. This volume also includes a one-act companion play, Mission.

Run/Don't Run & Mission

Chronicling a night of debauchery and delicate connection followed by a difficult parting in the cold light of day, Gary Duggan's play Stop/Over asks what these little moments mean.

Stop/over

I’ve started to recognise complete strangers... An ad sales team leader on a joyride to self-destruction. A Romanian bookshop employee who wants to try something new. An entertainment journalist who wants out. A restaurant manager who mourns a suicide. An English movie star who seeks credibility by slumming it in theatre. A Japanese florist who feels it’s time to take another chance. Relationships are strained, snapped and formed in this modern-day look at life in a multi-cultural Dublin.
