In their search for the truth they discover a violent world of shady business deals and racketeering. Shamrocks and Crocodiles won the Arts Council's John Whiting Award for the Best New Play of 1986 and a Thames Television Bursary Award

"Here is a sensational new author writing with a flowing lyricism which has overtones of Dylan Thomas... The language is both rich and apt, singing in its poetic cadences" ~ Marjorie Bates Murphy, The Stage

"...funny, touching, and real ... The piece breathes the air of a specific region, speaks with its own rhythms..." ~ Martin Hoyle, The Financial Times

"...a piece of fine, powerful writing..." ~ Robin Thornber, The Guardian
