Riassunto

Three young men wake up in an isolated house on the edge of the city. Outside is a heavy snowfall; inside, the men gradually come to realise they have no food, no heat and the pipes are frozen. Not only are they snowbound but all the doors of the house are locked and can t be broken down. Part psychological thriller, part ghost story, this is a modern tale, full of tension and mystery. It questions contemporary Ireland and the current lost generation of young men who find themselves trapped by the expectations of society, family, women and self.

Recensione:

'Big, bold, remarkably assured...A powerful accomplished work of art. Spellbinding' --Joseph O'Connor

'The dialogue is particularly well written, effectively capturing audience attention. Humour is also cleverly injected to nuance the play's overall gloom' --tn2
