Children’s theatre company Theatre Lovett brings ‘The Girl Who Forgot to Sing Badly’ to Castlebar on Saturday, February 14
Sing out, sing proud
Renowned children’s theatre company Theatre Lovett is bringing its latest gem, ‘The Girl Who Forgot to Sing Badly’ to the Linenhall Arts Centre, Castlebar, on Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 14, for a matinee performance at 3pm.
Sometimes it takes a girl-sized human to solve an adult-sized problem. Peggy O’Hegarty and her parents are packers. They squeeze fruit into tins, foxes into boxes, even bikes into brown paper bags. And all the while Peggy sings with the voice of an angel – a grossly unfortunate angel, who can’t sing at all.
But one day work stops working, and the jobs stop coming, and Peggy steps outside to find that winter has arrived … and everyone in her city gone.
Ingenious performer Louis Lovett leads the audience on an untamed adventure that crosses snowy lands and wild seas. As Peggy desperately tries to save the day, there are lessons about love, loss, the reassurance of goats and the courage to sing gloriously on or off-key.
The play, suitable for ages seven and over, and adults of all ages, is written by Finegan Kruckemeyer, directed by Lynne Parker, performed by Louis Lovett and produced by Muireann Ahern Lovett.
Booking advised. For tickets, call The Linenhall Arts Centre on 094 9023733, or visit www.thelinenhall.com.
