JEAN PAUL Sartre's famous view that "Hell is other people", captured the difficulties of coexistence, and how an individual can feel alienated from those around him/her.
Now imagine if the Irish pub was living embodiment of Sartre's definition of Hell - this is the premise of Sad F**k Pub, the new one act black comedy by Eoghan Regan, which runs at The Loft, Seven, today [July 21], tomorrow [22], and Saturday [23] at 1pm, for the Galway Fringe Festival.
The play uses audio and visual elements to establish the pub setting as purgatory, an existential prison-of-sorts where the barman (Eoin O’ Sullivan ), Edgar (Ben Wadell ), and Sonny (Robert Reeves ) are condemned to converse about love, masculinity, and heartbreak for eternity.
Tickets are €8/6. See www.galwayfringe.ie
