RADIO LUXEMBOURG by Mick Donnellan

£6.00

Radio Luxembourg is a black comedy centring around two Irish criminals involved in a Tiger Kidnapping that goes terribly wrong. Paddy and Joe arrive at a local bank manager’s house to kidnap the man’s daughter in a bid to use her as ransom. At first things seem to be going according to plan but soon the cracks appear, and we witness a bizarre and hilarious unfolding of events. Joe’s past comes back to haunt him while Paddy’s future hangs in the balance. But can he prove himself worthy of the criminal life? Meanwhile, the victim, Samantha, presents a whole new set of problems that none of them could possibly foresee.
