Introduction by director Fionna O'Sullivan:
I first met [author] Nigel Quinlan in 1991, my first year in College, when we
were cast in the same play being put on by U.C.C. Dramatic Society.
We weren't in any of the same scenes, but we became good friends and
still are. We share many traits: a love of theatre, a science fiction
habit, an overwhelming fear of spiders.
Nigel claims that he decided to become a writer while sitting in the
middle of a computer science exam he knew he was going to fail. That
was over ten years ago, and his work is slowly gaining the recognition
that it deserves, although it seldom gets seen outside of Ireland.
"Stuck" was first performed in 1996 in the Granary Theatre, Cork. It
is my great pleasure to revive it for an audience in Finland, Irish
student slang and all.
