Rather than face life without Padraig - a prince among bus drivers- Hammer makes-believe that nothing has changed. How, wonderous, then, the transformation Hammer makes before our eyes.
Despite the meddling of others, from a smoldering ruin he builds a 'cottage' such as greets us from the staging of many an Irish play.
With Stage Irish John McCarthy creates a whip-smart knockabout comedy for our place and times.
