Everybody knows their place in Sonya Kelly’s satirical comedy for Druid Theatre Company. In the seemingly civilised setting of a theatre foyer, four people waiting for returned tickets to an acclaimed production become increasingly fractious and competitive.
That the production in question is titled Oppenheimer’s Return to Hindenburg is a hint that something very destructive is about to happen. Knowing references to “the Oppenheimer” denote membership of a high cultural club, especially for the professor (Bosco Hogan) who is first in the queue. When he is joined by the equally determined Umbrella Woman (Fiona Bell), it becomes clear that they have their own very particular and rather desperate reasons to see this performance.
