1 Gun, 1 kidnapped Bishop, 3 Lads From Barrytown, The American Marines & 2 Day's The Resident's Of Barrytown Will Never Forget.

Roddy Doyle one of Ireland's best loved storytellers, brings the razor sharp dialogue, wit and comical gold found in The Van, The Snapper and The Commitments to his superb play Brownbread.

Ao Farrell, John Murray and Donkey have been best friends for years. During another day wondering the streets of Dublin the lads make a find any young fella would dream of, a browning 9mm handgun.

What better way to put it to use then to kidnap the Bishop during the Confirmations. Hulled up in Donkey's Mammy's bedroom the lads and the Bishop settle in for a long stand off as in Donkey's own words "Can yis Imagine it!?-Walkin' ou'. - With our hands up, yeh Know. - The fuckin slaggin we'd get!!!

Unfortunately for the lad's and the Bishop his Grace was born in New York, que the American Marines and President into what has now become an international situation. On top of all that Mr Farrell hasn't even had his dinner.
