24 Hours in Cork
24 Hours in Cork is a critique of class divisions, social pretensions, and the absurdities of modern Irish society, all delivered through humour and satire. The play exposes the contradictions between how people present themselves versus who they actually are, and it highlights the petty biases, hypocrisy, and power dynamics that shape social interactions in Cork. The play humorously dissects Cork's class hierarchy, showing how accents, jobs, and even clothes dictate how people are treated. Ultimately satirizing how people in Ireland judge others based on class, appearance, and social signals rather than substance. It highlights the ridiculousness of status obsession, the persistence of class barriers, and the way people navigate social mobility through deception, humour, and survival tactics.
