“I mean, you don’t even have to talk to them, not-a-mind chat them up!  They’re all over ya as soon as you walk through the door!  Not like the ones back home that be like tigers and won’t even talk to ya!  It’s brilliant!”

Happy Days! The economy’s flying in Celtic tiger Cork, and Declan is off to Thailand for the holiday of a lifetime with the lads.  24 years old, in a foreign land, Declan embarks on a bizarre journey of self-discovery and cheap thrills.  You see, Declan’s been going through a bit of a bad patch with the ol’dolls back home.  So it’s off to Pattaya for two weeks to end the drought once and for all. 

A unique take on modern Ireland and its contribution to the East Asian tourist economy, Thailand: What’s Love Got To Do With It? premiéred at the Cork Midsummer Festival 2007, and was a resoundingly popular, sell-out success.  It is a darkly comic, highly entertaining evening’s storytelling, featuring a solo performance from internationally celebrated actor,Máirtín de Cógáin (“seanchaí for the 21st century” - Midwest Irish Focus, USA). 

Directed by Brian Desmond, Stage Management by Joanne Quinn.
