Overview
Synopsis
It’s closing time at Mulligan’s bar. As bartender Jamie prepares to lock up for the night, a frantic Man arrives. At first, all he wants is a quick drink. But then he makes an offer that Jamie, saving up for a full-time music career, finds too good to turn down: $2000 if he’ll let Man sit at the bar for an hour. It turns out that this is no ordinary patron, and his arrival might change the course of Jamie’s life. Sean Grennan’s four-person ensemble play balances humor with heart as a reflection on the choices we make and who we make them with.
