Description

McCafferty's break-through play, a tender and comic portrait of love, dignity and emotional damage. Vera is feisty but fading, Ronnie is washed up and permanently half-drunk.

Together they run a grubby pub/hotel in present-day Belfast.

It is a refuge for the assorted regulars who wash up there, as well as its rickety owners.

Today is a day like many before, turning groggily into a night which might erode everyone's ability to cope with each other, or themselves. 'McCafferty's writing is wonderfully attentive to the beauty of the real world – the mundane and common place has a poetic elegance which he draws with stunning accuracy and every one of the diverse characters is fully and neatly formed' - London Theatre Guide
