Scenes from the Big Picture

a new play by Owen McCafferty

It's a joke that's all - stick yer finger in yer coat pocket - give it some verbals - then on yer way out the door take yer hand out a yer pocket an wave at him - what's the problem there - he'll even find that funny himself.

24 hours. 20 characters. 40 scenes. Belfast City. An urban story.

Peter Gill directs a new play by Owen McCafferty, whose Closing Time recently premiered at the National.
