The Patrick Pearse Motel by Hugh Leonard is a fast-paced farce packed with secret lovers, jealous spouses, and spectacular misunderstandings.

 

When Gráinne plans a discreet night with an ex-flame turned TV celebrity, she ropes in her new friend Niamh as cover — but nothing goes to plan.

 

Add a furious husband with a shillelagh, a jilted motel manageress, and a delightfully senile night watchman, and the result is rapid-fire Irish farce brimming with misunderstandings, close shaves, and gloriously escalating confusion.
