It's the Real McCoy Theatre
From:January 28, 2012 20:00 to: January 28, 2012 22:00
Location: Ballina Arts Centre
Get ready for an action-packed night of drama and comedy as a brand new 3-act Irish Comedy is heading to Ballina Arts Centre at the end of the month for two nights only – Friday January 27th and Saturday January 28th at 8pm.
Fresh from sell-out shows in Claremorris and Tubbercurry this production has it all, with riveting drama and hilarious one-liners set to have audiences in tears from start to finish.
“It’s the Real McCoy” is set in rural Ireland in 1964 and focuses on the life of 68 year-old Madge Mulloy who has spent over 40 years struggling to survive on a small farm with her only daughter Maura. Sadly, Madge has had to live with the fact that her husband Tom simply vanished within 5 months of marrying her without trace.
The play centres around the fact that Tom has decided to return home to explain to Madge the sequence of events that led to his disappearance and what unfolds on stage is a combination of high drama, amazing Irish wit and a happy ending.
There are seven characters in the production with two of Ireland’s nosiest neighbours constantly appearing in Madge’s kitchen at the most inappropriate moments! Nora O Hora and her daughter Cora definitely add spice to the plot! The local postman Martin Daly is played by Midwest Radio presenter Gerry Glennon and the local curate Fr. Michael McCoy is played by the writer and director Tommy Marren.
This is a play that will really keep the audience on the edge of their seats right to the final curtain. Already the play has attracted huge audiences in the west of Ireland and local publications have published glowing reviews of the production.
“It’s The Real McCoy” is a two-hour play that is a “must see” with love stories, sub-plots and characters that everyone can identify with!
Tickets are €15, and are available from Ballina Arts Centre or Rouse Jewellers, Ballina.
