Us (Modern Irish Classics) - Tapa blanda

Ultimately a distinctly Irish book and a very good one too. Anyone interested in discovering the mundane yet freakish realities of Ireland today (albeit as seen through a very dark filter) should read it. --Irish American Post

This is a vital and readable book which highlights once again the guilt and denial endemic in our society. --Evening Herald

Powerful, disturbing and profoundly moving. --The Good Book Guide

In this play, three young men wake up in an isolated house on the edge of the city. Outside is a heavy snowfall; inside, the men gradually come to realize they have no food, no heat, and the pipes are frozen. Not only are they snowbound but all the doors of the house are locked and can't be broken down. Part psychological thriller, part ghost story, this is a modern tale, full of tension and mystery. It questions contemporary Ireland and the current lost generation of young men who find themselves trapped by the expectations of society, family, women, and self.
