Hilton Hotel
"Someone who'll watch over me" by Frank McGuinness is the story of three
very different men kidnapped and forced to live together in a tiny cell
in Lebanon, 1986.
It's a powerful play based on true events, it will make you laugh and cry as the men try to combat isolation and boredom with the only tools they have, their imaginations.
