'a new, funny, interesting, intelligent and sobering play...reminiscent of Mamet, but I would argue that it's a lot more credible than Mamet, because it has humanity...Impressed me greatly as the work of a new writer' - Emer O' Kelly, The Sunday Independent
'A great testament to the up-and-coming talents we have in this country...bodes well for the future of Irish Theatre.' - Le Cool Magazine
'I
ntensely engaging...Performances were strong, believable and hypnotic. Overtime is a must see this week for all theatre goers in Dublin' - Guide2Dublin

John is having a bad night. Pulling in extra shifts, staying late, in the office 24/7... But the work just keeps piling up and the job is getting tougher and tougher. And all the while that voice is telling him that maybe it's him. Because, all of this wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for Frank. Frank-the face and name behind that voice. Frank, ever constant, always there. Watching on. Waiting. But for all of John's problems, if he lets him and if he listens...Frank just might have a solution. Overtime began its life as part of The New Theatre’s week of November Playreadings in 2011, and was staged for a full week’s run in July 2012. Following glowing reviews and positive feedback it returns to The New Theatre for just two weeks. Contact: [email protected]
