'First and foremost, this is a meeting. Of which you now have the deciding vote. Which proposal will it be?'

In the Irish offices of a corporate firm, three employees have their lunch hour to determine how best to spend their company's annual Corporate Social Responsibility budget.

Behind a locked door and out of sight of management, the task escalates into an increasingly outlandish and hilarious debate, revealing secret passions and uncomfortable truths.

Caitríona Daly's The Lunch Punch Power Hour in Conference Room 4 is a madcap, hilarious and insightful play about power structures, escapism and resistance. It premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2025, directed by Raymond Keane.
