The side splitting comedy ‘Nobody’s Talking to Me’ will hit the stage of The Balor Theatre for the final night tonight, all in aid of a very worthy cause.
The play opened to a packed house last night, and just a few tickets remain to tonight’s performance.
Staged by The HSE Players & Friends, and written by Tommy Marren, it is directed by Monica Doherty with all funds raised will go to the Ohana ZERO Suicide charity.
The Donegal-based foundation was founded by Stranorlar woman, Angeline Collins. It provides education that will enable the participant to identify the signs that someone may be suicidal, to employ the correct language in asking the appropriate questions and to ultimately direct that person to the appropriate help.
The cast includes an ensemble of experienced local actors, and a couple of debutants, including Mary Sweeney, Henri Quinn, Seamus McCrudden, Patricia Houston, Grace Quinn, Desmond Crawford, Danny Quinn and Cronan Scanlon.
Suitable for all ages, the play will close tonight, but hurry, tickets are selling fast!
The cast of ‘Nobody’s Talking to Me’ gather around for the renewal of Mattie and Maggie’s vows!
Play synopsis
It’s Rural Ireland 1969 and it’s the day of Mattie and Maggie Conway’s 50th wedding anniversary. However, very few people know that the ‘happy couple’ haven’t spoken a word to each other for ten years. When the local Parish Priest arrives to surprise them and to renew their wedding vows, all hell breaks loose!! It’s just one laugh after another…..
Stand by for a night of hilarious one-liners and put-downs as ‘Nobody’s Talking To Me’ takes you on a two-hour rollercoaster of Irish comedy.
If you enjoyed “It’s The Real McCoy” you’ll love this one too!
The action is frantic and bit-by-bit we find out why communications between Mattie and Maggie have broken down. Mattie’s eccentric sister Minnie, who has lived in the house all her life, is feeling the pressure and with the Conway’s only daughter Josephine courting Andy Walsh – best described as ‘a sandwich short of a picnic’ – the plot thickens by the minute!
The fact that Bartley O’Dowd’s wake is taking place next door doesn’t help matters either! Add to the mix a complicated crossword, an over-used handkerchief, the appearance of an old flame and a surprise party where none of the guests talk to one another you’re in for a bellyful of laughs!
