Pumpgirl at Irish Repertory Theatre

In a gas station in Northern Ireland, barely north of the border, Pumpgirl gets few customers beyond lecherous men and cruel women who remark on her tomboyish appearance. Otherwise guarded, she has struck up a friendship with no helmet Hammy an amateur stock-car racer who prefers to spend time with his unsavory buddies over his wife and children. As Hammys wife, Sinead, stays home alone, she simmers with rage over her isolated, disappointing existence. On Hammys birthday, their lives become perilously intertwined, leaving them face to face with a desperate future.Irish Repertory Theatre is proud to present this heartwrenching original story of rural life in Northern Ireland by Abbie Spallen, a multi-award winning Irish playwright making her Irish Rep debut.
