Boss
by Thomas Hall.
- Boss! Boss! There's somethin in our Irish souls that just thrills to the sound of that word. That Boss word. Boss. Boss. A good boss. A good master.-
Jim Kielty is a man on the run - from Moriarty, from Mahon, from his dubious past, his terrifying present and Charlie Bird. Developer, fixer, stroke-puller extraordinaire, the Irish 'King of Real Estate' has fled to Spain to escape the legal and media vultures on his tail.
But the past is not another country for Kielty, and as he loiters with no clear intent in his Spanish penthouse, his crimes and misdemeanours come back to
haunt him as for the first time in his life he has the enforced leisure to reflect on his life and the lives of those who, like him, have poured their souls into bricks, mortar and vast amounts of warm money.
This is a one-man show about tribunals, legal and emotional. A Good Boss is an intense monologue of self-flagellation cum justification. Using an interactive sound score and projection it captures the panic and confusion of a man who finds that the rules he knows don?t apply anymore.
- A man who has nothing to atone for is not a man who has lived. Well I have lived. And my sins hang on me like a suit of patches. But still I can?t name them. I can't.-
