THEATRE Erris Players stage ‘Moll’

Erris Players stage ‘Moll’


Erris Players will present ‘Moll’ by John B Keane in Áras Inis Gluaire, Belmullet Arts Centre, on Friday, February 22, and Saturday, February 23, at 8pm.
This comedy takes a hilarious look at rural Irish parochial house, giving an insight into who is truly running local affairs in a fictional parish. The play brings the audience behind the doors of the presbytery, circa 1971, when to most Catholics that area was sacred and primarily the domain of the priest’s housekeeper.
The comedy opens in Canon Pratt’s parlour, when he and his two curates, Fr Brest and Fr Loran, are faced with the problem of replacing their housekeeper. As the comedy develops, many changes come to the parish and the parochial house.
The play is directed by Mary Heston and Mary Markwick. Admission €10.
