Review
……The next night, my hearing had recovered sufficiently for me to be able to catch the drift of “Howie The Rookie”, the latest reading as part of Michael Kelligan’s “On The Edge” season at Chapter Arts Centre. This is a cult tale of the Dublin underclass from Mark O’Rowe (the screenwriter of “Intermission”), consisting of two extended monologues focusing on two scummy individuals faultlessly played by Jack Llewelyn and James Ashton. Obviously, it took time to become accustomed to the profane vernacular, but when I did, I found the tragic-comic tales of beatings, unfortunate sexual encounters and untimely deaths highly compulsive.
