'The Maiden Aunt' in Narraghmore tonight
The play is directed by Maryclare McMahon and will be performed in Mel's Pub in the village.
Dates are this evening, Thursday 24 January, and tomorrow, Friday 25 January, starting at 8pm, tickets costing €10 (€7 concession for students and seniors) will be available at the door. Over-16s only.
'The Maiden Aunt' was Westmeath-based playwright Jimmy Keary's first three-act play when it premiered in Killala, Co Mayo, in 2000. It has a cast of eight.
The widely-performed work is about Gertie O’Grady, a retired teacher and spinster, who comes to stay with her niece Mary Murphy, after a spell in hospital.
Mary tries to persuade her aunt to make a will. When Gertie apparently ‘dies’, Mary’s husband Dan comes up with an elaborate plan to get their hands on her money.
