'Bookworms' is centred around an all-female book club and their decision to allow men join them for a change when they invite their husbands to join them one evening. Their daily lives spill over into the opinions of the book, suspicions are roused and it sounds like all hell might just break loose! In particular Larry, an out-of-work builder, and Robert, a banker, are struggling. Farrell is an incredibly accomplished writer. He's won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, The Sunday Tribune Comedy of the Year Award, the Best Irish Production Award in the 1996 Dublin Theatre Festival and, in 1998, Kevin's Bed was nominated as best Irish Play in the Irish Times/ESB Theatre Awards. He is a member of Aosdana, was Writer-in-Association with the Abbey Theatre and from 1997 to 2004, served on the Board of Directors of the Abbey Theatre and this is his twenty first stage play, his eleventh to debut on the Abbey stage.
