Alarm Among the Clerks

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Mervyn Wall 

  • Achoimre

    A play about the deadly tedium of day-to-day life for employees in a bank. The clerks complain to each other about 'the system' meaning both capitalism and their own particular bank's ethos. They retire to the local pub for a drink and inebriation conjures up a dream version of banking life to be played out after the realism of the opening.
