"As writers, we always envisioned 'One Last Show in Taghmon' as a
visually exciting journey, where the reel spins and reality blurs. As
writers, we try to capture fragments of existence
Set in rural Ireland in the early 1980s, One Last Show follows a fading travelling stunt show led by Mike Phelan, a once-celebrated performer now clinging to relevance as his world closes in. His greatest asset is John Condron, a gifted young stuntman beginning to step away from the road to build a safer life with his partner, Zoe. When a genuine film opportunity arises for John and his friend Frankie, Mike hides the truth, fearing their departure would end the only life he knows. The troupe’s final booking brings them to the village of Taghmon, where old wounds resurface, and loyalties are tested. As John realizes there is no future on the road and commits to one last stunt to protect Frankie and leave for good, Zoe chooses not to stand in the way of a life she cannot share. Before a gathered crowd, John steps from the tower and is killed, leaving behind a community forced to reckon with ambition, love, and the cost of refusing to let go.
