FUN, BEER AND SEX IS ALL SEAN HAS ON HIS MIND
FUN, BEER AND SEX IS ALL SEAN HAS ON HIS MIND
Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself.
Sean is twenty one. He’s all over Dublin – he hates it. He has a ticket to Australia and a plan: to be anonymous, have the year of his life, change everything, and most importantly, get as far away from Ireland as possible. All Over Town is a dark and comic odyssey that follows one young Irish man as he journeys across south-east Asia and Australia. A journey where hostel is a dirty word and phoning home is the last thing on the agenda. Fun, beer and sex: in no particular order is all that Sean has on his mind. He just wants out of Ireland and away from his family…but everything comes at a price. All Over Town is the highly anticipated mixed-media show that takes you on a queer journey into the underbelly of paradise.
Commissioned by Calipo Theatre Co., All Over Town was Phillip McMahon’s second play. It premiered in a co-production between THISISPOPBABY and Calipo Theatre Co. at Project Arts Centre as part of Dublin Fringe Festival 2007. A second production with a reworked text premiered in 2009 as part of THISISPOPBABY’s Queer Notions Festival at Project Arts Centre, Dublin
“Written with considerable verve…All Over Town is full of life.”
THE SUNDAY INDEPENDENT “McMahon is clearly a romantic in a world of cynics
…warm, wry and touching.”
