SUMMARY:Fourth Wall Laois Theatre Group presents The Country Boy by John Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Fourth Wall Laoise Theatre Group’s production of John Murphy’s play “The Country Boy” is a humorous but poignant love story that examines emigration\, the impact of dreams on reality\, and the challenges of returning home after seeking a better life abroad. \nEddie returns to Ireland with his American wife Julia intent on bringing his brother Curly to America. \nCurly is in love with the lively and beautiful Eileen but feels he must emigrate alone to make his fortune and return in a few years to marry her. \nCurly’s mother Mary Kate’s heart is breaking at the thought of him leaving\, while her husband Tom does not think time is right to hand over the farm to Curly. He does not want Eileen to “fill the house with screetchin’ childer”. \nThe empty stateroom trunk that the American couple brings serves as a powerful metaphor for the emptiness and disappointment that Eddie carries from his years away. \nEddie denigrates his wife as a “fat cow” but Julia rises to a new dignity as she becomes aware of her supportive role during Eddie’s dreams and struggles. \nWill Curly follow in Eddie’s footsteps? Will Eileen be left to wait? Will Eddie and Julia reconcile? Will Tom and Mary Kate be left with an empty nest? \nBook your tickets here or contact our box office on 090 6482042.
