Tina's Idea of Fun

Just wanna be a better mother, that’s all… some sort of a decent mother.

Tina can’t get through to her son. Stuck on the drink and tormented by her past, what will she do to get his attention?

Paddy is a quiet man just looking for someone to talk to. He’s a Republican, but he’ll shake his fist at anything these days.

When Queen Elizabeth II makes her first visit to Ireland, Tina’s post-protest party brings out the worst in everyone. What lengths will people go to, to make a connection?

Tina’s Idea of Fun was first published to coincide with the world premiere on the Peacock stage of The Abbey Theatre, Dublin in April 2016.
