A new play with much music, influenced by the golden era of Hollywood musicals, from Irish writer/performer Pat Kinevane and the team that previously brought Forgotten, Underneath and the Olivier Award-winning Silent to the Odyssey. Inside Clerys of Dublin, on the very day this iconic department store shuts for good, Pontius is trying to choose a gift for his estranged daughter, whom he hasnt seen for almost 20 years. He will meet her in an hour. This fathers journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the madness of OConnell Street.
