Winner of the Time Out Award for best new play on the fringe and an Edinburgh Fringe First, Car has been hailed as "one of the hottest plays of 1999". Exhilarating and high speed from the start, with sharp filmic scenes, techno music and speedy dialogue, Car charts the pulsating excitement and mind-numbing desperation of four young lads who steal a car. The dialogue pulls no punches, yet provides a moving insight into how their crime manifests itself in their thoughts, but also offers the other side, questioning how it feels to be the victim. The play builds to a thrilling conclusion, with a final explosion of events.
"searing script" exhilarating and challenging" The Guardian

We Ourselves a new play by Paul Mercier We Ourselves gives a view of Ireland over the last quarter century as seen through the eyes of seven Irish nationals. Their separate stories combine to give a wry perspective on ourselves as a people. These characters believe that they belong to the one nation. And they believe they are friends insofar as they shared a job abroad one summer and survived the most uneventful and forgettable weekend trips of their entire lives. They belong to a generation born with the First Programme For Economic Expansion which has reached its prime with the current unprecedented economic success.
