Back by popular demand. A hilarious night’s comedy for only €7. Coolgreany Drama are reprising their hilarious one-act play – A Beginner’s Guide to Madness – at St Mogue’s Hall, Inch on Tuesday, October 22, and Thursday 24 at 8 p.m.
This play was a huge hit with audiences when it was presented last month in St Mogue’s, so this is a final opportunity to see it before it starts on the One Act all-Ireland circuit at the end of October. Written by Barry McKinley and directed by Sally Stevens, this is a fast-paced absurd comedy centring on a stressedout New Yorker, Josephine, and her struggles with her husband, her therapist, some other weird characters and, believe or not, a walrus in her apartment building.
Can she live happily every after? These and other questions will be answered on the night. The cast is – Eadaoin Ni Lionain; Norah Finn; Eamonn O’Sheil; Niall Hunter; Ned Dempsey; Nicola Conroy, Denise Moules and Richard Lister.
