Synopsis:
The play takes place in Dublin in 1999 when the demolition ball of progress is banging on the door of a decrepit community in the guise of a developer intent on tearing down old properties for a new “muesli belt”: trendy bistros, health food stores and new apartments, to accommodate an expected influx of well-heeled yuppies.
Square in his sites is the Black Pool, a shabby, 100-year-old neighborhood pub resting on what has become prime real estate. The pub’s proprietor Mick owns the ancient house next door, too, and the prospect of such a large plot of land to build on has gung-ho developer Mossy salivating.
There are two women: Nora and Sinead and three men: Tommy, Mick and Mossy.
List of Characters:
Nora – Salon owner 40s-50s. Mossy – Big Shot developer 40s-50s .
Tommy – Recently retired 60s.
Sinead – Bar maid age 20s-30s.
