Secrets, Betrayal and Altar Wine. As the school year comes to an end, Peter and Michael are thinking about the important things in life; the football final, how to steal their cigarettes back from Mr McDonagh and their lives once they leave.

But they have a secret that could destroy them. When Peggy arrives at their all-boys school-jealousy strikes and the boys get sloppy.

What will happen if their secret gets exposed?

Megan O’Malley is an Actor and playwright from Co. Wexford.
