We wanted to be someone. Some . . . I dunno . . . thing. Nig and Wee Joe used to be soldiers. They have done monstrous things. Now nobody is listening and nobody gives a fuck either way. Their lives are full of cognitive behavioural therapy, valium and guilt. One last operation offers the chance to bring meaning to their actions. It also brings them face to face with 'L', who represents the new and unpredictable reality of war in Northern Ireland. This tense and darkly funny play from Jimmy McAleavey takes a fearless look at why men go to war. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 4 June 2015.

By the time of his death in 1934, Joseph Devlin, or Wee Joe as he was more affectionately known to his constituents, had left an indelible mark on Nationalist politics in Ireland. However, at the end of his life, also, there was a sense that, like his associate and party leader, John Redmond, Devlin had become a spent force in public life, that he had become too true to his constitutional ideals to prosper in the political climate of the time.Nevertheless, Devlin had been a significant figure in Irish life, perhaps one of the most significant, and in this long overdue biography, writer Sean McMahon attempts to piece together the career of a man whose service to both his nation and his constituents has been more often than not unfairly designated to nothing more than a footnote in Irish history.

Shortlisted for the Popcorn Writing Award 2024 Here, you. Are you a VL? Max and Stevie are just two wee guys trying to survive in an ordinary Scottish secondary school. But to survive, sometimes you need to hide. And there's no hiding when you're a VL. A VL is a Virgin Lips. It means you've never kissed a lassie, or a laddie. But it's so much more than that. And the longer you stay a VL, the more of a VL you become. Kieran Hurley and Gary McNair, the Fringe First Award-winning writers of Square Go, team up again for another raucous and riotous comedy about status in a chaotic hormonal pressure cooker... This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Paines Plough's Roundabout, produced by Francesca Moody Productions at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2024.
