[2][3] The play transferred to the Bush Theatre, London, running in July 1996 to 6 August, starring Ian Cregg (Joe), Conor Mullen (Ray), and Niall Shanahan (Frank).
Directed by Yael Shavit the cast featured Keith Dunphy (Jim), Michael Colgan (Frank), and Tom Vaughan Lawlor (Joe).
Michael Billington noted: "As a text, it also highlights McPherson's strengths: his sense of place, eye for detail and sensitivity to Ireland's gregarious solitude.
"[6] The play is an account of coming of age in small town Ireland, told by three young men.
The performance is not groundbreaking in its originality but does provide a great sample of McPherson’s quintessential dark humour, casual fecklessness, and problematic masculinities."
