Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend is about a new Irish generation. They were promised everything; a life of financial stability and job security but they now find themselves queuing either at the airport to emigrate or the social welfare office to sign on. They feel entitled not to experience depression, economic or personal, and the availability of over-the-counter medication allows them to numb both. The show received rave reviews and extensive interest from around Ireland and abroad and was nominated for 2 ABSOLUT Fringe Awards in Dublin 2012.
