The fog hides pain.
In this three-act drama set in post-WW II Ireland, eight spiritually defunct souls struggle to come to grips with their futures as the weight of their pasts burdens their spirits. Redemption is a fleeting thought, and games are things that no one wins.
A gambler accuses a book-maker and an athlete of conspiring to fix the road bowling championship match, but the gambler’s accusations are tainted by his jealousy – that the book-maker is in a relationship with his wife. Passion spills over as each person rips away pieces of the others as they struggle to find the things that can make themselves whole, perfect, pure.
In a world of intangibles, thoughts are the most valuable possessions and the most dangerous of weapons. If you were given a second chance to make things right, would you tell the same lies to protect the same people from the same hurt?
A man’s nature is a stubborn thing.
