Buy Local: The Last Corner Shop on Misery Hill
Here on Plan B, over the next few weeks, we are turning the spotlight on Irish businesses and creative initiatives to make us all more aware of some of the fabulous homegrown stuff that is out there. Today we are off to the theatre with Mack Mirahmadi and his play “The Last Corner Shop on Misery Hill.”

The play follows brothers Mick and Joey O’Reilly as they battle to keep their disastrous corner shop afloat in a world where the conglomerate edges ever closer. Things go from bad to worse for the brothers. What happens next is something that will change the course of the shop and their lives forever.
Mack spoke to Sarina about where the idea for the play came from; shared his fond memories of the fast disappearing local corner shop; and talked about the struggles that come with trying to stage a play in Dublin.
