Shellakybooky

'Shellakybooky' is a comedy which casts a cynical eye over both the current political climate in Hungary and the universal expatriate issue of isolation versus assimilation. When Mar Roache travels from Ireland to Hungary to stay with her sister Brigette Cooney and family, she is impressed by her sister’s seemingly idyllic expat existence. However, a mistress, a graffiti-obsessed son, an anarchist and a gay minister focused on change, all combine to shake the Cooney’s world and expose its fragility as the country’s political problems arrive on their doorstep.

Strongbow's Clock

Strongbow’s Clock – a black comedy ghost story concerning barflies Nick and Angela who meet at the same time every evening in Brennan’s Bar. They are served by Gabor, a Hungarian who has become ‘more Irish than the Irish themselves’, a keen, if confused orator of Irish history. This radio drama is an exploration of attitudes towards immigration, the generation gap and the danger of playing with unrequited love.
