"In Run/Don't Run, a young man fleeing Dublin crash lands on the sofa of his Irish-American cousin, as this older cousin's relationship with his Dominican girlfriend is imploding. Over the summer they cling to the last vestiges of the dying club scene and flirt with small-time criminality as storm clouds gather. This volume also includes a one-act companion play, Mission." —
