COMEDY Real McCoy heads west to the US

Real McCoy heads west to the US


Midwest Radio’s Tommy Marren, co-writer and producer of ‘On A Wing and a Prayer’, is heading to the US in early March with his new production, ‘It’s The Real McCoy’. 
The play, a rip-roaring three-act comedy set in rural Ireland in the mid 1960s, has already been a runaway success at home, selling out in The Royal Theatre, Castlebar, as well as in other venues across the county.
Marren, a Tubbercurry native, plays the role of Fr Michael McCoy. The main character, however, is Madge Mulloy (Eileen Slevin), who has spent over 40 years in despair following the unexplained disappearance of her husband, Tom (Ollie Rouse). However, her four decades of solitude looks set to end, as Fr Michael has discovered that Tom wants to come home and explain all. Unfortunately, Eileen’s daughter Maura (Collette McHale), who has fallen in love with the local postman Martin Daly (Gerry Glennon), doesn’t approve.
If you have family or friends in Chicago or Milwaukee, this play is one to let them know about.
It will be staged on Friday and Saturday, March 9 and ten, at the Irish American Heritage Centre, Chicago, at  8pm, and on Sunday, March 11, at the Irish Cultural and Heritage Centre, Milwaukee at 3pm.
