RETURN SEASON.

In a town of ten thousand people, what parade do we get?

Halloween. A small town in the west of Ireland. There's a party to get to, and Mikey and Casey have everything they need... Booze. Cash. Drugs. Each other.

The only problem is they're stuck. Stuck on a roof. Stuck together. And as they wait for the Guards to stop circling the house, they find out there are some truths you just can't climb down from.

Praise for If We Got Some More Cocaine I Could Show You How I Love You by John O’Donovan:

"But this isn’t a play about marriage equality. Instead, it’s about the knottier stuff of gay lives in certain corners of the world, and the kind of people who’ll never be the poster boys for the progressive cause." - Time Out

"If We Got Some More Cocaine I Could Show You How I Love You by John O’Donovan reminds us that not all LGBTIQ people live in societies where they are embraced." - Broadway World
