Second Draft

‘What you are about to see is a glimpse into the lives of elusive, horrifying creatures. Things you don’t want your kids to grow up to be. Holders of BA degrees that have opened approximately zero doors. Artists.'

This original musical follows Tommy, Michael, Grace, and Rose as they find themselves at odds with their artistic careers and the decisions they made to create them. As they grapple with writers’ block, procrastination, cut-throat industries, and the siren-song of emigration, will they be able to prove why they do what they do?

Following a sold-out run in The Mick Lally Theatre and a packed-out Culture Night 2024 showing, James Boylan and Hannah Cogan’s innovative and engaging love letter to the Irish Arts Scene highlights the beauty and struggle that comes with being a young Irish artist.

Perfect for fans of tick, tick... BOOM! and Merrily We Roll Along, as well as anyone who’s ever dared to dream on a budget.
