The Return of Larry and Sophie: A playwright's unexpected sequel
I’ve got mixed feelings about sequels. I love The Godfather 2 and Terminator 2. I even love the Meg 2. But after persuading my son Cóilín to watch Final Destination 2 with me, I had to admit that he was right when he said it’s pretty much identical to the first one. We’re used to sequels to movies, but a sequel to a play is another thing entirely. And yet that’s exactly what I found myself pondering soon after Fergal McGrath commissioned me to write a new play for the Town Hall Theatre. I kept trying to talk myself out of writing Finding Sophie, because a new play is hard enough to get off the ground at the best of times without it also being a sequel. As I set out to explore the idea, I had no idea that director Andrew Flynn and Decadent Theatre Company would go on to produce it at the Town Hall Theatre.
