DIA Agent Kendra Allen is a lady with a secret, a devastating secret that has shaped the course of her life. She is also wanted by desperate, unseen agents who will stop at nothing to bring her down because she has something they want-something she doesn't even know she has. To buy time and 'disappear' for awhile, she has joined an Extreme Expedition, one that is supposed to test her courage, strength, and instinct for survival. But ex-Special Forces Major Jared Hall, founder of Extreme Expeditions, notices that Kendra Allen doesn't play by the rules. She also doesn't seem to need to prove anything to herself or anyone else. She doesn't fit the usual profile of faux extreme adventurer. As events unfold, Jared finds himself not only struggling to keep Kendra safe, but trying to help her deal with her past and the horrifying event that pushed her to the edge. And he has to ask himself if he can be man enough for a woman who has proven she can more than take care of her self...

I like you, you know that? I know we’ve only just met, but you’re my favourite abortionist. Maz and Bricks is a passionate, angry, funny and touching play which tells the story of two young people who meet over the course of a day in Dublin. Maz is attending a ‘Repeal the Eighth’ demonstration, while Bricks is going to meet the mother of his young daughter. As the day unfolds, the two become unlikely friends, changing each other in ways they never thought possible.
