Really wanted that online qualifier to bust. Seemed like a very unlikeable cunt.

Went to the matinee today, found it immensely powerful, still can't get the final scene out of my head. Really top notch performances.
Only irritant was a group of fuckwits behind me who laughed and giggled through the whole performance.
SPOILERI am a dissenter to popular opinion on this play. I think it's a fucking joke, and I actually think that O'Rowe might actually have been joking with it. Suicide, filicide, rape, incest, lol. Layered on with shovel after shovel, it is a ridiculous play with some awful dialogue imo.
Now I'm 90% sure that O'Rowe that taking the piss out of theatre dialogue with his departure from his preferred monologues to the utterly unrealistic features of the responding in the dialogue, the "Mary went to the shops. Then she bought a cake." "Mary?" "Yeah, Mary."
And the final scene, lol. Ridiculous nonsense, and the shock of the audience, more like a cheap horror film. How he thought that cheap stunt was a good idea is beyond me. Unless he was taking the piss.
I don't actually know if O'Rowe is a good playwright or not. I've only seen Howie / The Rookie of his other stuff and didn't think that was all that great. But this was taking the very well worn structure of revelation throughout a play and making a farce out of the secrets. It was only short of some cannibalism and paedophilia. And the early plot with "Nidge" really being after the ma, lol, ridiculous crap.
Loved the set though. I would happily live there. And Ciaran Hinds was allowed one or two good scenes to show his brilliant acting, unfortunately Vaughan-Lawlor wasn't.
I seem to be alone in thinking that this is trash, but I am resolute in this. I think it's a badly written and ludicrous play which just set out to shock.

SPOILERI found the dialogue quite appropriate tbh, the whole repetition/clarification thing added to the authentic awkwardness of the opening scene and was mainly used by Sinead Cusack afterwards, tying in to her distrait air.
Actually had a debate with the missus afterwards about the final scene, she found it a little OTT. I found the revelation itself far more shocking and the final scene a fitting portrayal of the horror of the nights endured by Cusack.
The argument scene between Hinds and Cusack was as well acted a scene as I've seen, Hinds in particular was truly outstanding. Thought Vaughan Lawlor played the gormless suitor quite well. Would agree his infatuation with the girlfriend's mother added nothing.
I take your point that several of the themes were deliberately shocking and outrageous but what I took from the play and what stays with me strongly even as I write is the power of the enduring love between Hinds and Cusack.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostFinally went to the hairdressers today and asked Mario to do what he could to the homeless-chic beard due to the dismayed and often scared looks I'd been receiving around the uni and from my own kid. Gave him no advice though as hadn't thought that bit through. Mario rambled on for a bit, slightly intelligibly, as I nodded encouragingly. As he started getting excited he made a few shapes with his hands on my face presumably to show angles he would cut at or whatever. He even made some snipping motions with his fingers too which was a nice touch. And then off he went about his business. The fcker! The absolute fcker. He made me into a Denny Crane! A cooler version obv, but still a Denny Crane. The fcker. Only realised it there when asked the wife to take a photo to show the future grandkids. Clearly this is sue-able, but how much money is Mario likely to have?

Hitch,
Just bamboozle them with a combination of freakonmics and the utlisation of smart big data techniques and highlight it's potential for improved methods of assessing compliance from a 360 helicopter perspective. Be very excited and breathless and imply those who don't get it will be left behind in the dark ages of ticking boxes. Simples.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Word of advice, only have stripes in one of suit/shirt/tie not all. Learned that the hard way.

All in ~ 900 if you don't have some of this stuff already.
Other details like a good quality over suit business coat, an umberella and quality document holder are also very important. People let themselves down badly on details and undo all the good work by looking shit in the lobby or arriving into a business lunch with a cheap ass rainjacket over a suit because it's raining on the day.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan
