Winner of best Short Play in 123 Festival of Drama Co. Waterford 2010

A short play for four to five adults. Set in an urban coffee shop in the late afternoon or early evening, Rod a goodlooking man in his forties sits chatting to a very attractive woman called Lea, who is obviously Eastern European, denoted by her accent. An older Irish couple, Pat and Mary, sit at a nearby table and nosily eavesdrop on the other couple’s conversation.

The audience hear’s both couples speaking and watch as Mary and Pat put two and two together and come up with seven! It also reflects the Irish past time of having an opinion where one isn’t necessary and of no concern and perhaps exposes a subconscious rascism. Pat and Mary’s narrowminded summation of what is going on is way of the mark, none of their business and clearly, lost in translation.
