We welcome actors of all experience levels to audition for this production. There is a wide range of size of roles and ages.

Three kids from Barrytown kidnap a bishop, because they accidentally find a gun and have nothing better to do that day. Almost immediately, the Corporation house they’re holed up in is under siege, first of all by the Gardaí, then by the U.S Marines who are sent in by the American President when it emerges that the bishop has an American passport.
