Ted Dunphy
Over several Sunday nights I saw a group of retired men taking a late night drink in a local pub. Each of them had a rich working background but were now put out to pasture. It seemed such a waste and I wondered what would happen if they decided not to take their forced retirement lying down. From there, the story took off by itself and the title grew out of the situation of the men and was summed up in the message of 'Don't Poke the Fire', because if you do, sparks will fly.
