About to Fall Apart

'Poignant and tender.' FERDIA LENNON
'A dynamic voice.' IRENOSEN OKOJIE
'Lushly written and formally audacious.' NICOLAS PADAMSEE

This is the story of one man’s weekend, a weekend in which everything could change

So he writes and writes /
does everything he can to bring the story to life /
hasn’t yet worked out the ending /
not fully

Set across one weekend, About to Fall Apart is the exhilarating story of a mixed-heritage man, taken from his mother as a child and now living on the Irish border, who enters a writing competition in the hope of changing his fortunes. But as the deadline looms and the pressures around him intensify, he is forced to confront who he is, where he belongs and what his future might still hold.
