Dysfunctional Ireland in all its glories is here, with humour of the blackest hue, madness and violence, hopelessly randy priests, dodgy politicians, a grand gallery of misfits, culminating in McCabe's hero in 'Breakfast on Pluto', Patrick "Pussy" Braden, the transvestite prostitute from the village of Tyreeline.
Set against a kaleidoscope of colour and music, Patrick McCabe delivers a Molotov cocktail of gender-bending, random violence and mental mayhem combining camp comedy with brutality, making this both a funny and deeply shocking story.
