Mur­der of Crows
“Sit­ting through Lee Coffey’s Mur­der Of Crows is akin to spend­ing an hour in a filthy cel­lar with lice crawl­ing over you. Is it worth it? Yes; def­i­nitely. This could be yet another unimag­i­na­tive the­atri­cal pho­to­graph of the aver­age wild week­end indulged in or imag­ined by teenagers. But in Coffey’s cre­ative hands, it becomes an utterly believ­able night­mare of abu­sive sav­agery, a cross between Apoc­a­lypse Now and Lord Of The Flies.” – Emer O’Kelly, Sun­day Independent.

“Lee Coffey’s writ­ing is alarm­ing, not because of its vicious, eye-​for-​an-​eye moral­ity but because one senses he has tapped into the zeit­geist of teenage life in Ire­land. It’s not pretty. The script is darkly witty and intense…” — Fiona Charleton, The Sun­day Times

Peru­vian Voodoo
“It’s a wild trip through the insan­ity of three men with half-​fried brains. It’s as ugly as it’s funny, and the mes­sage is as sober­ing as it is street-​wise. Lee Cof­fey fits his writ­ing into a kind of Ray­mond Chan­dler genre with the addi­tion of pro­fan­ity and 21st-​Century sex­ual cru­dity that would prob­a­bly have made Chan­dler blush.” – Emer O’Kelly, Sun­day Independent

“Fast-​paced and funny, as well as tragic, this is an enter­tain­ing por­trayal of a tough, crazy day in a cold and cruel city.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Pub­lic Reviews

From All Sides
“Under the direc­tion of Aaron Mon­aghan, and with the words from a truly incred­i­ble script by Lee Cof­fey, we bear wit­ness to a show that explores the extrem­i­ties, and the real­i­ties, of what is accept­able and nat­ural for one gen­der, but is not for the other.” – Meg​.ie “Under the direc­tion of Aaron Mon­aghan they con­vey the dark­ness, depth, and humour of Coffey’s con­cept. It is a brave 55 min­utes of the­atre that focuses on adult themes while also telling a rous­ing and, oddly, at times fun mod­ern tragedy.” — Reviews Hub

“A bold dra­matic endeav­our, well worth unpack­ing.” – The Sun­day Times

G.O.D. (Good. Orderly. Direc­tion.)
“Audi­ence famil­iar with Coffey’s pre­vi­ous work will note that G.O.D. is a depar­ture from his famil­iar, fast paced verse struc­ture. This evo­lu­tion is excit­ing, as Cof­fey man­ages to pre­serve the inti­macy he is known for cre­at­ing through his char­ac­ters while deliv­er­ing a more deter­mined and delib­er­ate nar­ra­tive. G.O.D. is a strik­ingly vis­ceral pro­duc­tion that should not be missed. Intense, com­pelling and intimate.
