Oisin left Ireland to build the kind of life he couldn't have in Dublin. But when he arrives in London, he finds that things don't quite go to plan. Set against a backdrop of Brexit turmoil and looming climate collapse, ADMIN is a queer modest-yet-epic journey, using dark humour and sharp political commentary to explore love and why so many of us feel lonely when surrounded by people.

PRESS
Irish Times | Vivid and wry account of precarious London living | ★★★★
"That makes one wordless moment marvellously effective, when director Darren Sinnott folds in politics, pop and the exquisitely personal, briefly letting Theresa May, Abba and an affecting picture of heartbreak do all the talking"
London Theatre | A beautiful, 55 minute, rage against the system | ★★★★ ★
Arts Hub | An effective, compelling and memorable hour of theatre | ★★★ ★
"Darren Sinnott’s direction deftly balances the work’s tonal shifts and coupled with McKenna’s tight script and confident delivery, the result is an effective, compelling and memorable hour of theatre."
Irish Independent | a very affecting show, that reveals a lot about the intricate workings of the emotional brain and the difficulty of finding true connection in our hyper-connected world |
"Director Darren Sinnott steers the performer towards a sense of true storytelling intimacy."
