“Written with considerable verve…All Over Town is full of life.”
– The Sunday Independent
“McMahon is clearly a romantic in a world of cynics
…warm, wry and touching.”
– The Irish Times
Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself.
Sean is twenty one. He’s all over Dublin – he hates it. He has a ticket to Australia and a plan: to be anonymous, have the year of his life, change everything, and most importantly, get as far away from Ireland as possible. All Over Town is a dark and comic odyssey that follows one young Irish man as he journeys across south-east Asia and Australia. A journey where hostel is a dirty word and phoning home is the last thing on the agenda. Fun, beer and sex: in no particular order is all that Sean has on his mind. He just wants out of Ireland and away from his family…but everything comes at a price. All Over Town is the highly anticipated mixed-media show that takes you on a queer journey into the underbelly of paradise.
