Papatango Theatre Company presents the winner of the sixth Papatango New Writing Prize Coolatully by Fiona Doyle. The piece will be directed by David Mercatali and will begin previews on 28 Oct 2014, officially open on 30 Oct and will continue its limited engagement through to 22 Nov 2014 at Finborough Theatre, near West Brompton in west London.

Synopsis: 'Coolatully shines a light on modern rural Ireland, where suicide rates among young men are the fourth highest in the world, asking whether a generation can be saved. Kilian was once Coolatully's pride and joy and their champion on the hurling field. Now the village can't muster a team, the country's shutting down, and his girlfriend Eilish wants to leave for a new life across the ocean. As Irish history repeats itself, Kilian must confront the demons of the past and decide whether to stay or go forever.'
