Written and performed by real-life friends Georgina McKevitt (Irish soap star, Fair City) and Jacinta Sheerin and directed by Alan King, the play tells the story of Chrissie and Jade who 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'. Pimlico flats is akin to 'Cheers', everybody knows your name, your business, your record and what you are having for dinner. Nothing much changes 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 interested in is whether Mrs. Dignam is having it off with Gunner Eye Gilby. The Celtic tiger has been and gone and they never even stroked it.Producer Maria Schweppe. Company Wicked Angels. Director Alan King. Lighting Gary O'Daly. Performer Georgina McKevitt.
