'Chequered Flags to Chequered Futures' is a play about speeding and the consequences of our actions in a car whether behind the wheel or not.

It tells the true story of Chris Gilfoy, the Rookie’s World Champion Bangor Racer in 2000. In 2006, Chris was being driven by a racing friend who was driving too fast, neither was wearing a seatbelt and the driver was uninsured. They narrowly avoided killing another driver and crashed into a wall. The fast-paced story explores the life-changing consequences for all three involved.
