'You've no money, no career, no substance. You're renting these days, people think there's something wrong with you.' Alan and Nicola are a couple desperate to keep pace with the boom time. However, when Alan's sister Amy is involved in a scandal, Alan finds himself questioning his values and wondering if success can truly be measured by money, ambition and material gain. The Grown-Ups is a modern-day thriller that has at its heart the malaise of a society 'seduced by extravagance'.The play received its world premiere at the Abbey Theatre's Peacock Theatre, Dublin, on 10 February 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51859752354080,"sku":"NEW0413775941","price":25.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71guugcqX_L.jpg?v=1781593418","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-grown-ups-modern-plays-0413775941","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
