REVIEWS:
REVIEWS:
"A comic and chilling character... This is a man whom everyone dismisses as harmless but who stock-piles his resentment like hand grenades... Beautifully realised."
The Guardian
"A work that enjoys delving into the nastier zones of human behaviour with a wild and mischievous exuberance."
Irish Theatre Magazine
