Jailhouse debut gives playwright captive audience

Irish Examiner court reporter Liam Heylin’s dark comedy, Love, Peace and Robbery, will be performed in Cork Prison next month as part of the national tour by Cork’s Meridian Theatre Company.

The play, about petty criminals struggling to break the cycle of crime, was premiered in Cork in 2007. Since then, it has been performed to great acclaim off Broadway in New York and in Washington.
