Hackney Office

Originally produced by Druid Theatre Company in 2000, The Hackney Office is a darkly comic tragedy set in a Dublin hackney office.

Christy wants to expand his hackney business. Jude dreams of opening a nightclub. Nobody knows what Danny wants.

One hot summer afternoon in Handy Hackneys, a rundown Dublin hackney office where nothing is as it seems, an unexpected visitor arrives.

As hopes rise and fortunes seem within reach, old friendships are tested, ambitions collide, and every conversation reveals another layer of deception. Before the day is over, three ordinary men will discover just how dangerous opportunity can be.

Funny, tense and deeply human, The Hackney Office is a dark Irish comedy that blends razor-sharp dialogue with mounting suspense. Set entirely in a single room and written for three actors, it is a gripping portrait of friendship, loyalty and the dreams people cling to when they believe their luck is finally about to change.
