Chrissie and Jade spend their days waiting; waiting for the postman, waiting for the kettle to boil and waiting for Coronation Street. They won't shop in Argos 'cos we're waiting for IKEA'.

 

Set in the heart of 'new' Dublin, where night wear is day wear and bitching is
everywhere. Pimlico flats is akin to 'Cheers', everybody knows your name, your business, your record and what your having for dinner. Nothing much change's in Pimlico, each day begins and ends the same; it's what happens in between that keeps the neighbours interested. The only current affairs these girls are concerned with is whether Mrs Dignam is having it off with Gunner Eye Gilby.

A heart-warming story of friendship, family, community and sunbed obsessives.
‘Waiting for IKEA’ will appeal to friends of all ages with its unforgettable characters and colourful language.

 

‘Waiting for IKEA’ premiered at the 2007 Dublin Fringe Festival, the first show in the
history of the Festival to sell out in advance of opening. ‘Waiting for IKEA’ was nominated for The Bewley's Cafe Theatre Award and The Fishamble New Writing Award.

 

"The script is sharp and laugh out loud funny…Sheerin and Mc Kevitt clearly belong on
stage…this is a fresh, funny and enjoyable show"

**** Irish Theatre Magazine – September 2007 – Ruth Kennedy
