Following the phenomenal success of their hit production 'The Parish', Hubcap Theatre returns to Westport Town Hall Theatre on Saturday next, August 15, with their brand-new comedy 'Mary's Hopes and Dreams' – another fast-paced, laugh-out-loud theatrical experience that has been delighting audiences across Ireland.
Written and performed by the hugely talented duo Michael Ryan and Seán Kelleher, Hubcap Theatre has built a loyal following with its unique style of storytelling, combining sharp observations of rural Irish life with energetic physical comedy and a gallery of unforgettable characters. Since forming the company in 2019, the pair became one of Ireland's most exciting touring theatre acts, bringing original comedy to theatres, arts centres and community venues nationwide.
'Mary's Hopes and Dreams' centres on Mary, a stay-at-home housewife whose ordinary life takes an unexpected turn when her best friend encourages her to step outside her comfort zone and pursue new opportunities. As she begins a journey of self-discovery, Mary must confront expectations, challenge tradition and find the confidence to follow her own dreams.
Along the way, audiences are introduced to an outrageous collection of colourful rural characters that make for an evening packed with laughter and heart.
