Eileen is a sardonic University drop-out who works as an unlicensed taxi driver. Her passenger is Shane, who has exiled himself in Ballywalter and enrolled on a course to learn stand-up comedy. As the two spend time together a surprising connection is made and an unlikely friendship develops… Co-starring Patrick Kielty in his first dramatic role.
Mark says:
This is a cracking double act; unpredictable, hilarious and moving. Eileen doesn’t like being a taxi driver and doesn’t like her passengers, Shane has come to Ballywalter to escape from something and a grumpy cabbie is the last thing he needs. But give people a chance and they find a way…
Reviews:

“Director Prasanna Puwanarajah and writer Stacey Gregg treat the sensitive subject with the care it deserves, and they find plenty of room for hope.” Emma Simmonds, Radio Times.
“Ballywalter is a heartfelt little gem.” Alexa Dalby, Dog & Wolf.
