In a small rural pub in the West of Ireland, local lads spin tales of the supernatural, as they vie for the attention of a young woman who recently moved into the area. Little do they know that she has her own personal and compelling story to weave...

His latest play, The Brightening Air, had its world premiere at London's Old Vic Theatre in Spring, 2025.
