"If I had urinated immediately after breakfast, the Mob
would never have burnt down the Orphanage." So begins the hilarious,
award-winning, genre-busting tale of Jude, a Tipperary-reared orphan who on
his 18th birthday sets off to discover the wide world and his true
parentage. His picaresque adventures take him first to the "Sodom of
the West" - Galway - where he falls in love, encounters temptations
galore and, disguised as Stephen Hawking, unwittingly blows up the HQ of a
Multi-National Corporation - and himself. With his face reconstructed into
the spitting image of Leonardo DiCaprio (apart from the small matter of an
erectile nose) Jude travels on foot to the inferno of Dublin, in hot
pursuit of Angela, ex-Galway chip-shop employee and his True Love. A
spectacular chase through the city of Ulysses ensues, transformed by
Gough's talent into a dazzling metaphor of 21st century violence,
alienation and progress.
