About the show

Irish new play company Fishamble presents a darkly comic thriller about an ex-con and a nun who are chased across Ireland for a roll of film. More…

In Nigeria, a frightened child puts an old roll of film into the hands of Dublin-bound teacher Sister Martha. In Dublin, ex-con Larry, plans his last heist. Meanwhile, Scarab Oil plans to unleash its new clean fuel of the future. As Martha's roll of film attracts the urgent interest of some very powerful and ambitious people, she and Larry take a high octane jump into the brutal world of international energy skullduggery and awaken passions they thought were long behind them.
