Entertaining Sligo
MY AUNT BEE
Seamus O’Rourke teams up with two time All Ireland winning actress Eileen Ward for this wonderful warm hearted comedy about family, friendship and fidelity. It will take place in the Glens Cenntre Manorhamilton on Thursday the 2nd March at 8.30pm.
Stumbling Myles McBarn is 50 and in the middle a life crisis, he has just lost his mother and his wife and his two grown up children have moved away.
His house and life have a minimalist feel to them and then he has a visit from his feisty 100 year old Aunt Bee, who has lived the past 82 years in the U. S. and returns to Ireland with a very heavy trunk.
She likes cars and vodka and doesn’t hold back when it comes to speaking her mind.
Tickets are € 12-€ 15 and are available now from the box office on: 071- 9855833. A night not to be missed!
