Dermot Bolger
Commissioned by Dublin's Culture Connects as part of the National Neighbourhood: Press Play project 2016.
It's 1980 and Christmas decorations have appeared in the Home for the Blind where Dublin's most famous gunslinger, the legendary street character Bang Bang, has finally hung up his holster. But in his heart Bang Bang knows that will be his last Christmas and soon he must face the final shootout he has spent decades preparing for while roaming the streets of Dublin, which became Dodge City in his mind as he jumped down from open-backed buses to fight imaginary gun battles with bushwhackers, using his trusty, rusty key.
