“While using his brother’s flat for an illicit tryst with his mistress, Jerome, a cynical businessman is visited by a malevolent poltergeist that pierces his hands with 6in nails. It is a cartharic event that sets in motion a chain of events that eventually lead to his self-annihilation and subsequent redemption. The story is streamlined and the pace relentless as the tale builds to a devastating emotional finale.”
– Sunday Times

“At one level Dermot Bolger’s fascinating new play is the story of a haunting. At an altogether different level, it might be taken as a metaphor for the rescue of a soul from some kind of living purgatory.”
– Irish Times
