James X by Flynn Mannix

James X by Flynn Mannix

In this play set in Ireland in 2002, plaintiff James X confronts the defendants, Church and State, for injustices perpetrated throughout his childhood. While awaiting the trial James examines his confidential state files compiled over the previous 45 years, and rehearses that history. The documents reveal a dark tale of prejudice as James X attempts to reclaim the truth of his adolescence and childhood from the age of three - in Dublin's inner city, Letterfrack, Daingean, Portlaoise, Mountjoy and the Central Mental Hospital. In facing his demons, he lets the reader decide, and moves on. This monologue lays bare the gulags of Ireland's state system as a child is handed mercilessly down from one institution to the next.
