Talk about all kinds of everything - if a playwright was to present such a spectrum of clowns, the audience would revolt at what seemed like easy caricature.
The smug disabled business shark turned reality TV sham
the cutesy singer turned spooky bean an teahadi,
the creepy fascist turned creeping Jesus,
the snake-eyed terrorist turned statesman,
the 'special needs wears prada' PR shrew turned stateswoman,
the poet/activist politician turned leprechaun,
the gay activist, scholar politician turned shrieking bon-viveur.
A true farce whose only redeeming factor is the somewhat accentuated mirror image of the absurdity of the island formerly known as Ireland.
God help us.
