But it’s just one of those days. One of those days where I feel like I’m wearing myself on the outside. My heart, my soul, all my soft bits.
Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal lovers living in Dublin. When forlorn Dan and his dog Chapatti cross paths with the amiable Betty and her nineteen cats, an unexpected spark begins a warm and gentle story about two people re-discovering the importance of human companionship.
A beautifully poignant and extremely funny new play by Galway playwright Christian O'Reilly (The Good Father, Inside I'm Dancing), Chapatti published to coincide with its European debut in Galway following a critically acclaimed world-premiere run in Chicago in Spring 2014.
Christian O'Reilly is a playwright from Galway whose first full-length play, The Good Father (published in The Tiger In Winter, Methuen Drama 2006), was produced by Druid Theatre Company for the 25th Galway Arts Festival in 2002 and toured throughout Ireland in 2003. It was joint winner of the 2002 Stewart Parker New Playwright Bursary. His screen credits include Inside I'm Dancing, a feature film that won the Audience Award for Best Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2004, two Irish Film and Television Awards, and the AIB People's Choice Award for Best Irish Film. His first play, It Just Came Out, was an OZ Whitehead/SIP prize winner and his radio play, The Play, was a PJ O'Connor Award winner and was broadcast on RTÉ Radio One. Two of his short films, The Birthday and The Kiss of Life, have been produced and he has several feature-length screenplays in development. He also writes for television and is a graduate of the BBC Writers' Academy.
