Created as part of A Play, A Pie and A Pint in Glasgow in May 2022, Not now (Pas Maintenant) is written with a lot of bite and depth. Critically acclaimed, this comedy lingers on the past, identity, and the concept of moving on. David Ireland also wrote Ulster American.
The day after his father's funeral, Matthew is getting ready to audition for a prestigious drama school. As his uncle Ray interrupts his preparation to give him unsolicited career advice, Matthew questions his desire to leave the region. Where is his true home?
Pas maintenant offers a moment of humanity between two generations experiencing grief differently. The weight of the past, both familial and political, sometimes takes up a lot of space...
