Made in China

Mark O'Rowe's new play Made in China inhabits the same scabby territory as his hit play Howie the Rookie--the Dublin the tourists never see. Made in China is full of linguistically inventive low-lives using and abusing each other by word and deed. As before, and despite the violence, the main character achieves a kind of redemption by refusing --finally--to be drawn into the petty mafia of tit-for-tat revenge.
