A brand new play by an established young Irish writer We all have to work hard these days that's just the way it is." A new executive breed is emerging in a quarry on the outskirts of Dublin - where once there was a sense of history and socialism, the corporate moguls have enslaved the idealists and turned them into entrepreneurs. Whilst Marion is an ad exec on the make, Kevin is the house-husband with the baby and time to nurture his much-vaunted creative powers. But when the bottom falls out of the market for their dot-com neighbour Richard, an economic squall threatens to sink their fragile emotional prosperity. "Declan Hughes has a keen eye for absurdity, a quirky sense of humour and a knack for making acrimony amusing while not underrating the seriousness of the issues." The Times Published to tie in with opening directed by Lynne Parker for Rough Magic at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin Praise for Declan Hughes' writing: "savagely comic", "compelling", "darkly funny
