Dealing with the issues of bigotry and how it is indoctrinated into our society, Damaged Goods passionately punches through the hypocrisy, pride and narrow-minded dogmatism of religious prejudice. In doing so the play captures a part of Scotland's obsession with Ulster and the Republic of Ireland through history, religion and ancestry. While these issues and their consequences are both serious and tragic, there is also an abundance of humour throughout the play. Michael O'Hanlon is 19. Born and raised in the streets of Glasgow, he is desperate to be Irish. When his Grandfather dies, he steals his gun and heads for the Liverpool ferry. He wants to join the IRA...but they're not in the phone book. Jeremy is young and inexperienced. A reluctant cadet from Liverpool, who is about to walk straight into Michael and trouble...Despite being completely polarised by class, nationality, religion and politics, Michael and Jeremy discover they have more in common than they thought.T0685589920Company Roughcast Productions.
