SUMMARY:Fourth Wall Laois Theatre Group presents Moll by John B. Keane
DESCRIPTION:John B. Keane’s Moll is a much-loved comedy set in a rural presbytery in the late 60s / early 70s. With the departure of their long-serving housekeeper\, a canon and his two curates begin interviewing candidates for the role. Moll arrives with high standards and little patience for clerical indecision\, quickly taking control of the presbytery and unsettling the young Fr. Brest in particular. \nKeane’s trademark humour and keen observation make for a charming evening that asks one simple question: who will break first\, Moll or the clergy? A warm\, clever and highly entertaining evening of classic Irish theatre with laughs throughout. \nDirected by Kevin Lalor Fitzpatrick \nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:Willy Russell's Shirley Valentine starring Norma Sheahan
DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself to an evening of laughter\, triumph\, and a hilarious journey of rediscovery. \nNorma Sheahan\, one of Ireland’s leading dramatic actors\, brings her sell-out performance of Willy Russell’s effervescent and iconic character Shirley Valentine to Tuar Ard. \nMeet Shirley\, a 45-year-old housewife\, trapped in a dreary marriage and humdrum life. As she prepares her husband’s dinner\, egg and chips\, Shirley wonders when she lost her hopeful\, youthful self. \nFeeling isolated\, she resorts to full-blown\, although somewhat one-sided\, conversations with her bestie\, her kitchen wall\, and dreams of excitement beyond her grim role as “St. Joan of the fitted units”. \nSo\, when an unexpected chance to travel to Greece appears\, Shirley takes a leap\, digs deep into her flagging confidence and discovers it’s never too late to reclaim your dreams\, your joy\, and yourself. \nFirst performed in 1986\, this production marks the 40th anniversary of the play. Its themes of self-discovery\, love\, and freedom continue to resonate powerfully with audiences today. Shirley Valentine has won an Olivier Award for Best Comedy\, a Tony Award for Best Play\, and inspired an Oscar-nominated film. \nThis iconic production is directed by Michael Scott and stars Norma Sheahan as Shirley. \nDirected by: Michael Scott \nDesigned by: Michael McCaffery \nProduced by: CTD: City Theatre Dublin and Mullingar Centre for the Performing Arts \nGet Tickets
