Mark O'Rowe's ferocious and timeless two-hander Howie the Rookie is coming to The Cockpit, in collaboration with Burning Coal Theatre, for a limited 10-performance run. Structured as two interlocking monologues delivered sequentially, the play follows 'Howie Lee' and 'The Rookie Lee' across a single volatile 24-hour period in working-class Dublin. Fast-paced and foul-mouthed, 'Howie the Rookie' examines how young men perform toughness, dominance and emotional detachment as social currency and how quickly wounded pride can tip into violence.
