I never thought I'd have the backbone for suicide but faced now with the likelihood of watching my own backbone being removed and flung onto that barbecue, I think it’s only fair that I should give suicide a shot.

A shot we can't do... we have knives though.

It's 11.30am and already it's 33 degrees Celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men face their inevitable deaths, and play for an unwinnable love.

Druid's previous partnerships with Enda Walsh (Fringe First winners, The Walworth Farce and The New Electric Ballroom) have led to sell out runs in six countries worldwide wowing critics and audiences alike. Don’t miss this dynamic duo third time round.

"Walsh is a writer whose every line swaggers with imagination, humour, toughness or all three." The Times

Also by Druid this season – The Silver Tassie by Sean O'Casey
