It was certainly ingenious of Maria Jones, to come up with such an idea. At the end of the play it certainly felt like there had been 15 actors on stage, not just two. So much so, that at times I completely forgot they were being played by the same person.

What makes this play very interesting is that it contains 15 characters that are played by only 2 actors, Conleth Hill and Sean Campion, and they do an incredible job!! At first, I found the character switches a little confusing, but as the play progressed I soon became used to the individual characters. The story centres on two of the extras, Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, whose desires, hopes and fears are exposed. A major Hollywood studio decides to film in the area and so many extras, mainly local people, are needed for the movie. The story is set in a small village in Co.
