One man's attempt to find existential meaning in small town Ireland leads to desperation and eventual eco-enlightenment. Oisín Landers returns home to Ireland after 20 years, to find the country in the grip of an uncharacteristic economic boom. Everything has changed, except Mick Lowry's Bar, which has remained frozen in time, in a deep sepia hue, inspiring Oisín to a whole new depression similar to the one that caused him to emigrate in the first place. How will Oisín survive the ravages of small town Irish life?
Praise for Eamonn Kelly's comedy.
Religious Knowledge: "...written and directed by Eamonn Kelly is a gloriously over-the-top spoof on our mythologizing of the Christian Brothers' past." The Irish Times
Frugal Comforts: "...Remarkably clever, full of guile and purpose, skillfully poised between the horrible and the hilarious..." The Irish Times
The Comedy Cumann: "...Kelly himself created an excellent stage persona as a deadpan guitarist with a Jim Reeves fixation singing wonderfully dreadful stuff." Irish Independent
