Bare Essentials

  • Achoimre

    Bare Essentials follows Norman, a down-market Dublin bedsit dweller whose artistic talent is as vast as his paranoia, and his side-kick Sean, whose sights are set on bigger things for both of them. The play explores the uneasy relationship that unfolds between business and the arts, as together they stumble through an atypical day in the life of an unemployed Dublin artist.
