Hard Chair Stories offers incredibly strong and moving performances by three actors, each telling a story, and each of which were compelling from the start As each story unravels we witness the events through their eyes.

Victoria Beighton plays Sarah, a vivacious and animated young woman who takes us into her confidence to share the tragic-comic events that led to her present circumstances.

Mark Katz plays Rick, a decent, well-meaning chap who describes the chaos caused by his mentally ill brother's annual visit.

Finally, Fintan Shevlin plays the brother of a young man who has met with tragic circumstances and tells us of the bleakness and confusion that follows.

It's written by Nicholas Burbridge, who has already received many accolades, and he should feel confident of his latest success.
