Boxing the Compass

One-act comedy-drama / 2f, 2m

A one-act play in four monologues: A young Irishwoman in Belfast laments the growing distance between her and her love; a heartsick young Irishman in Cork auditions for his ex-girlfriend; a middle-aged Englishman in Dublin seduces his potential protege by sharing pages of a play-in-progress; an older Canadian woman in the west of Ireland welcomes a young visitor into a castle haunted by grief. Four lightly comic and poignant portraits of lost souls in search of connection

Winner of the John V. Gurry Drama Memorial Prize from Confrontation Magazine.
