Marie Jones’s new comedy ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ will be staged at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar next week
Onstage laughs at The Linenhall
Marie Jones’s new comedy ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ will be staged at The Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar tonight at 8pm.
Frances and Loretta are community care visitors. Davy, one of their elderly charges, has had a significant win on the horses, but he doesn’t know. When the cash-strapped women learn that Davey will not be around for a considerable time they are faced with a mouth-watering dilemma.
Marie Jones is the author of the smash hits ‘Stones in His Pockets’ and ‘Women on the Verge of HRT’, two of the most successful plays ever produced on the island of Ireland. Her hilarious new comedy investigates whether we are valued more in life or in death. Featuring Tara Lynne O’Neil and Katie Tumelty, the play is directed by Marie Jones and produced by GBL Productions/Patrick Talbot Productions.
Reviewing the show, Irish Theatre Magazine’s Terry Blain wrote: “Lots of laughter, wry insights into the vagaries of our socio-economic system, and an invigoratingly humane sense of engagement with some of its least advantaged citizens. Marie Jones fans will certainly not be disappointed.”
‘Fly Me to the Moon’ will be staged at the Linenhall Arts Centre, Castlebar, tonight (Tuesday), October 8, at 8pm. To book, call 094 9023733 or visit www.thelinenhall.com.
