The HSE Players are back after a 12-year hiatus and bringing three nights of side-splitting entertainment to the Balor Arts Centre starting May 30th!
This heartwarming return promises not just laughs, but also a chance to support a worthy cause.
Renamed as ‘More Drama’, the Players and friends will be performing “It’s The Real McCoy,” a play hailed as one of the funniest Irish comedies ever written.
Director Angeline Collins secured the rights to the play after being touched by the kindness and enthusiasm of playwright Tommy Marren, who waived his costs upon learning the proceeds would benefit the patient comfort fund at Ard Greine Court.
This year the Players are also hoping to raise awareness regarding Ohana ZERO suicide online suicide awareness training. This training equips people with the tools required to identify if someone is struggling, particularly knowing what to say and where to go for help. The training only takes 30 minutes.
‘It’s The Real McCoy’ is set in rural Ireland in the mid 1960s and its main character is Madge Mulloy (Patricia McGlinchey) who has spent over 40 years of her life in despair raising her daughter (Majella Sweeney) following the disappearance of her husband for no apparent reason.
What unfolds on stage has to be seen to be believed. The new parish curate Fr. Michael McCoy (Paul Kelly) gets news about her husband Tom (Danny Quinn) and his wishes to return to her to explain why he left. Thrown into the mix is a lovely struck Postman (Andy McGranaghan) and two nosy neighbours Nora and Cora O’Hora (Georgina Harkin and Grace Quinn) what could possibly go wrong???
