This Man Is An Island

Being an adult can be a real challenge sometimes. But as long as you have your friends all will be well. Especially your best friend. Your bestie. Your bezzy. Your BFF. With your ‘number one amigo’ by your side there is no challenge in this world that is too much. Pandemic? Easy……… Or so I thought.

 

‘This man is an island’ is a story of a friendship under pressure. The World is changing. Constantly changing. But surely friendship will always remain a constant. Eric thinks so. But Dom isn’t so sure. Their current relationship status – It’s complicated.

 

Meet Eric….
Eric is old school. Unashamedly old school. He yearns for the landline and has very fond memories of teletext. He worries about the World. Feels that we don’t need to push the pause button but rather SLAM the rewind button.
 
Meet Dom….
Dom is new school. Mad for the future. It can’t come quick enough. See that latest product on that shiny shelf…. he’ll take it. Two of them. Just don’t ask him to call into the shop. Yuck.

Larry McGowan 

Hailing from the Blanch, Larry is an actor turned audio-geek. When not composing music and engineering sound, he can be found reading a good or a bad book. No longer trendy, toned or cool, Larry has accepted his fate as a quiet middle-aged audio buff with a penchant for writing.

Back when Larry was kind of trendy, toned and cool, he studied Drama in Dublin and Film, Music Technology and Youth Work in Galway. He spent fifteen glorious years in G town before returning to his native province to much fanfare (none) in 2019.

He now resides in Bray with his Wife and Daughter. It could be Shankill. Might be Bray.
