Pondlife Angels

by Enda Walsh

it's early morning and she's standing in her bedroom looking down on cork.

right down to the quays people are out of their cars and looking up at her house in gurranabraher

she's wearing her minnie mouse nightshirt and for the first time she realises it's covered in her own blood.

they're waiting for her.

Specially commissioned for Cork, European Capital of Culture 2005, Pondlife Angels traces a desperate day in the life of a Cork city checkout girl... mapping out her ever-more nightmarish and frenetic journey through the streets of Cork, as she tries to make sense of her unravelling reality.
