Set in Dublin’s inner city where an ancient city wall cordons off a neighbourhood which is rife with drugs, this is a powerful retelling of the Greek tragedy Antigone.
When the local crime lord, Leon vows to let her brother Paulie’s body rot in the street, Twig, young and iron-willed, defiantly sets out to do the right thing. The tragedy which unfolds inexorably, pits the two figures against each other, building relentlessly as grief, love, hope and despair collide in a dramatic conclusion against the backdrop of Dublin’s docklands.
