Pumpgirl works in a small garage in a border town of south Armagh, on the wrong side of the exchange rate. A tom girl who thinks she’s one of the lads becomes obsessed with local racetrack star ‘No Helmet’ Hammy. Hammy’s embittered wife Sinead has been left nursing a stomach like ‘a bag of onions’ after two pregnancies whilst he spends the nights out racing with the boys.
A darkly comic story emerges from the interwoven monologues as the play takes us deep into the unspoken thoughts and darkest desires of three lives destined to collide.
