A stage play in three acts. It is the height of the "Celtic Tiger" boom in Ireland and Jean and his father work as painters, busily painting the many new houses springing up as the housing industry explodes. However beneath this seemingly perfect world is a dark underbelly of corruption and incest. Jean's shady uncle, living in his attic laboratory, has genetically developed Ireland's first poisonous spider, a deadly creature that is evolving hourly. As Ireland's mythical and cultural past retreats from this toxic world, Jean is bitten by the spider and his ever-distracted and disillusioned father plots the last supper. The Celtic Spider is a surreal and nightmarish examination of the rot that exists beneath economic boom and controversially criticises an Ireland that is losing its soul. Written and performed in 2007, The Celtic Spider, at times deeply profound and farcically humorous, prophesied the doom of the coming years of total economic and spiritual collapse.
