Show Notes
Sophie and Karl are persuaded to go on a blind date by mutual friends. What have they to lose? A compelling and intense audio drama about looking for love.
Content Warning: Sexually explicit material and references to sexual violence.
Sophie and Karl are persuaded to go on a blind date by mutual friends and long-term couple Helen and Dave. Sophie, a pretty, sexually confident thirty-year-old, is looking for something more permanent than her usual transient relationships. Karl, a good-looking thirtysomething, agrees because he thinks Helen secretly fancies him and this is her way of checking him out. The minute they clap eyes on each other they like what they see. The date goes really well with Sophie agreeing to go back to Karl’s for a coffee and chat. Each recount a radically different version of what happens next.

Written by Eamon Somers, produced and directed by Berni Dwan, with audio production by Declan McGlade, A Quarter of Broken Biscuits captures a snapshot of life in Dublin’s Liberties in the 1960s. With the main action emanating from a local grocery shop, the characters grapple with two main issues – the age-old housing crisis, and the nascent realization that homosexuality does indeed exist. The backdrop of emigration and displacement adds a sense of urgency to these questions of social justice in a modest and homogenous Irish community.
