I was in a short play when I was in secondary school. There was three people in it. 2 x male and 1 x female.

It is set in a pub, one man is the bar man and the other is a stranger to town, they fight for the love of the bar maid. It started with a strange, 'Is this the house next door?' dialogue between the two men. I can't remember much more of it now to be honest.

If someone knows the name of this and where i could get a copy of the script I would really appreciate it. I meant to keep it but it got lost during a couple of house moves.

Can you remember if it was an Irish play?

It was set in rural Ireland.

Here's a shortlist on Irishplayography.com - using one act, and 2 male/1 female.

If the link expires you can do a search yourself

Could your teachers have adapted the opening to "The Playboy of the Western World"?

This is driving me mad. It reminds me of a play I saw in the Gate a couple of years ago but I just can't remember the title.

That reminds me of 'Poor Beast in the Rain' by Billy Roche which I saw in the Gate.
I think it had more than three in it, but maybe the OP used a scene or two.

Sounds very like it might be a truncated version of The Weir by Conor McPherson. In the play, there are two more male characters, but it may have been restructured for a school production. It's set in a rural Irish pub. The girl in it (the only female cast member) is from Dublin, but is renting a house in the area.

Thank you! That's the very one I was trying to remember, I wonder if it's the one the OP was thinking of?

I will check out 'Poor Beast', its on by a drama group nearby soon. I will check 'The Weir' as well.

If I fInd either to be correct, I'll post it.

Thanks.
