Theatre review: Sparkplug
This quirky one-man show, written and performed by Little John Nee, is the story of Sparkplug Callaghan, a vintage-car mechanic and wandering blues singer who is finding life tough. Set in a fictional, recession-blighted village in Donegal, it’s an odyssey: Sparkplug meets various people, including the owners of a pet cemetery and a woman named Ruby, for whom he falls.
Nee is a benign presence and he engages with the audience, inviting us to relax as he takes us on a journey that is punctuated by his original songs which are played on an array of musical instruments.
