• Synopsis

  A man, a banana, a tape recorder—and a bomb. Donie Burris has a whole heap of troubles facing him: with his girlfriend, her son, Albanian gangsters, the Longford mafia and a very overbearing mammy. How can he get them all off his back? He imagines himself as the star of his own gangster movie, and he won’t go down without a fight. A comedic but savage portrait of a man at the end of his rope, the play pays homage to film noir, Samuel Beckett and the Teletubbies.
