Owen McCafferty: Plays 1

Owen McCafferty's first collection brings together one short- and four full-length plays set in the author's home city of Belfast. Shoot The Crow 'Tragicomedy of character and circumstance that makes McCafferty look like a ribald Northern Irish Chekov.' Guardian. Scenes From The Big Picture 'An epic that attempts to put the whole of human life on stage - birth, death, love, sex, work, families - the whole damn thing... McCafferty offers us a wise and compassionate view of the human heart.' Telegraph Closing Time 'The existence of a writer as good as McCafferty induces a perverse, paradoxical hope.' Guardian Mojo Mikibo 'A razor sharp evocation of time and place.' Irish Times

Agreement

what takes courage is to compete in the arena of democracy The clock is ticking. It's April 1998 and representatives of the British Government, the Irish Government and the main political parties in Northern Ireland try to hammer out a deal that could pave the way for peace. Every word, every movement, every stare means something. This is the last chance saloon and no one is leaving until agreement is reached, one way or another. In a major new play, Owen McCafferty examines the negotiations leading up to the Good Friday Agreement and weaves potent drama out of this complex, momentous, landmark event. Agreement opened at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast, in March 2023.
