A Story of The Bodkin Murders
Ten people are murdered in an inheritance-motivated feud at the Bodkin residence in 1741. Following the killings, John Bodkin becomes heir to that estate in Galway. He is now free to marry Catherine Bermingham, the gorgeous daughter of Lord Athenry. But their plans are clouded by the ensuing trial in which John’s cousin, Shawn Bodkin, is one of those convicted. In a statement from the gallows, Shawn accuses John of fratricide in an earlier conflict. Instead of protesting his innocence, John goes on the run only to be apprehended by the army. At his trial, John refuses to plead either guilty or not guilty to the murder of his brother Patrick. Only Catherine knows why. She is the keeper of a dark secret, which John insists must remain hidden, even if it costs him his freedom or his life. Based on real events, A Story of the Bodkin Murders explores a fascinating tale of treachery, greed and romance in 18th century Ireland.

Irish CoCo
CoCo Higgins lives in the shadow of her famous artistic father, who has made his name painting nude paintings of her mother. The same mother that walked out of her life when she was only nine years old. Together with her sister, and a baby brother who is obviously not her father’s child, they live with this man, who can only truly communicate on canvas. Ten years later CoCo gets a scholarship to the prestigious Art Academy in London. There she finds herself following in her father’s footsteps; the same college, the same boarding house with the same landlady. CoCo throws herself into new experiences; the bohemian world of ‘70’s London where love, sex, drugs and a wild evening in the Bunny Club are all part of CoCo’s liberated exciting life. Until that fateful Monday morning when a new life drawing model turns up in college. She would recognise that body anywhere, she saw it often enough in her father’s paintings. CoCo comes face to face with the woman she hasn’t seen since she was nine years old.
Enlightenment
At three o'clock in the morning, this is what I think. I think somebody killed him. They killed him, God, I don't know how I'm uttering these words ... they killed him because he's white and Western and they hated him. And it wasn't personal. Which somehow makes it worse. When Lia and Nick's son disappears when overseas, all they have is an email that he was thinking of going to Jakarta, leaving them with their own grief and uncertainty. And then a stranger appears, uncannily like their son, covered in scars and holding Adam's passport... Enlightenment is a powerful study of parental grief and of hope amidst uncertainty. Published to tie-in with the world premier at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in March 2005.
