CLOONACOOL PLAYERS
The Cloonacool Players production of Sam Cree’s ‘Don’t Tell the Wife’ is set in 1960s Belfast in the Willis household. Mrs Willis is convinced her plumber husband is chasing other women and the hilarious comedy leads to crazy misunderstandings, involving a French lodger, a male escort, a corporation officer and a very desirable female named Bridget.
