The challenge is to live in this world, not a new one
A veteran US astronaut is about to land back on Earth after completing his very last space flight. A lonely ham radio operator in Donegal is surfing frequencies in want of some company. This unlikely pair of conversationalists collide with life-altering consequences. Static is a lyrical, searching play about isolation and the painful contradictions that surface when people try to connect. Written by Jimmy McAleavey, this edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production directed by John King at the Abbey Theatre in June 2025.Author Biography
