“You remind me of someone though. I mean you’re not like him. Not physically like him. Nowhere near. But there’s something there. Your voice or how you hold yourself. Your hands”
In a series of unexpected and unguarded conversations after anonymous sexual encounters, a woman discovers men with the same deep need to communicate and connect in the lonely, atomised city. Ten years after Trade (Best New Play, Irish Times Theatre Awards 2011), multi award-winning writer Mark O’Halloran, director Tom Creed and THISISPOPBABY reunite for this funny, tender and brutally honest new play.
Funded by the Arts Council with support from Dublin Theatre Festival, Mermaid Arts Centre and Dublin City Council.
