  'Joe Prop' is the story of a 12 year old boy, Joe Kavanagh, from Gorey Co. Wexford who has a big dream. A dream big enough to overcome any obstacle. A childhood illness and subsequent medication has left him overweight and a target for school bullies who among other things have started a facebook page called 'Fat Joe Kavanagh' 200 likes. Joe finds solace on the school rugby team as a prop in the scrum. As his coach, Mr Murray, says 'Some jobs are meant for big guys.' The play is set in Joe's bedroom. A place far away from bullies and illness where he gets to be the greatest Tight Head Prop in world rugby and captain of a winning Irish Rugby World Cup team.
