IT’S been a good year for Mark Cantan, with the young Dublin writer enjoying a number of creative breakthroughs. His short play The Big Bad Wolf was produced at the Abbey Theatre in June, while Baptism of Hire, a one-off comic reality-show written aired on RTÉ in September.

This week the Dubliner’s first professionally produced full-length play, Jezebel, has begun a long run at the Project Arts Centre.
