| "FRUGAL COMFORTS" |
Directed by: KATIE FLYNN McKIRDIE
Set in a cheap tenement in Dublin on a Wintery day in 1988
"Frugal Comforts" is
laced with the dark humor that was common to that era.
The author draws on the losers from the seamy side of Dublin for his characters, and finds 'em.
Dave, in his early thirties, is hopeful but unemployed, looking for work and renting flat 1.
Crawley in his late thirties is an ex-con, an abrasive petty thug and renting flat 2,
Layman , in his late teens and not the sharpest knife in the drawer,
has left home, is Dave's nephew.
Andy, in his early thirties dresses well and is proud of his job as a crime-boss goon.
Mularkey, in his fifties is the landlord and maintenance man. Sloppy dresser,
uncouth, has a bad heart.
