In Mojo Mickybo, two Belfast lads, Mojo and Mickybo, relive the summer of 1970, when they were growing up in the city, playing headers, building huts and re-enacting cowboy movies.

At first, their friendship is immune to the sectarian violence taking place around them. But nobody is safe from it forever...

An unsentimental portrayal of innocence betrayed by communal hatred, Mojo Mickybo was first performed at Andrews Lane Studio, Dublin, in October 1998.

The Waiting List is a blackly comic monologue about a man who thinks he may have been put on a paramilitary hit list. It was first produced by Point Fields Theatre Company at the Old Museum Arts Centre in Belfast in 1994.

I Won't Dance, Don't Ask Me is a short monologue about a recently unemployed middle-manager slowly losing his mind. It was first performed at the Ulster Arts Club in Belfast in 1993.
