The Man Who Said Too Much
By Eoin Carney presents • Amateur Company
Google Eoin Carney presentsAbout the show
Eoin Carney presents this film noir comedy for the stage in which a private investigator cannot keep his thoughts to himself — including his fantasies about the dames who come to his office. His poker game has gone to pieces. Could there be someone out there for him in a ramshackle world of gumshoes, gangsters and broken promises? Smutty but sweet, the show features femme fatales, musings on gaydar and the benefits of smoking, and general perversion. A 45-minute theatre piece for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A smutty, sweet film noir played out with candid absurdity — a private eye who literally cannot stop saying what's on his mind. Short, sharp and wickedly irreverent.
