“Simon O’Corra is a not only a prolific writer, he’s also a very talented one. His scripts are always witty and his characters are superbly drawn.   I loved reading “Breaking The Cycle”. It has great roles for middle aged and older women actors too. Wonderful. Why do so many writers ignore these stories?  There’s a rich seam to mine here and Simon O’Corra does so.

​

These roles are not the usual stereotypical ones we find in so many plays.

They are interesting, layered and nuanced. What a joy to find a writer who recognises the importance of such stories and keeps us engaged throughout without falling back on cliches and who delivers a fine ending!"
