Cuckoo Spit follows the lives of four close friends and their daily struggle to keep themselves occupied in the dreary little town that time forgot. Abandoned by the modern world, in a place void of jobs women and opportunities, they drink and smoke their time away, outcasts in a town of nutters, dreaming of the day when their ship will come in and free them from their tedious fate. But just when it seems things can't get any worse a Community Employment Scheme threatens to turn their world upside down, forcing them to take drastic measures to avoid having to get a job, until a plan is finally hatched that will make them all rich, once and for all. Filled with amusing and borderline insane characters, scathing dialogue, and plenty of home truths, Cuckoo Spit is a hilarious observation on the absurdities of everyday life in a small rural Irish town.
