This is Carol Moore’s feature directorial debut, with screenplay by Abbie Spallen based on her stage play of the same title, is the story of the tomboyish Pumpgirl (Samantha Heaney) who loses herself in girlish daydreams about local hero Hammy (Richard Dormer), who occasionally drops in on her, and not just for fuel.
Pumpgirl’s co-worker warns her about getting involved with such a feckless married man. But she believes Hammy loves her and would leave his wife Sinead (Geraldine Hughes), were it not for their two children. After all, Hammy spends as little time with his family as possible, favoring the company of ex-con Shawshank (Gerard Murphy) and his low-life friends
Stuck in a dead marriage with Hammy, Sinead’s need to be desired and stimulated spiritually pulls her into a maelstrom of adulterous passion with Shawshank. She is unaware that Shawshank looks for any opportunity to control and humiliate those around him, especially Hammy.
When Shawshank realises that Hammy really does have a soft spot for Pumpgirl, he sets into motion a chain of events that has far-reaching effects on everyone involved.
Cast and crew will be in attendance.
