Dates set for 'A Wake in the West'

Kilcullen Drama Group is working well on getting their production of 'A Wake in the West' ready for presentation at the end of March, writes Brian Byrne.

The play, a comedy, is written by Michael J Ginnelly, and will be performed on 27/28/29/30 March, the show starting at 8pm.

A Gala Night on Friday 29 March will be in aid of the Kilcullen 700 Fund.

The cast includes Fergal Sloan, Maurice O'Mahoney, Siobhan O'Brien, Emily Kehoe, Catriona Poufong, Brid Hoey, Owen Coyne, Vivian Clarke and Dick Dunphy. The director is Eilis Phillips.

The story is set in a small town in County Mayo, in the early 1980s. Local man Tom Healy has died and has left some unusual funeral instructions with the local doctor.

His daughter Mary and his estranged son Martin, who has just returned from America for the funeral, are not happy with the request, and the play is a debate about whether they should follow tradition or not?

Admission €12, €15 on Gala Night. Booking available by calling Berneys Chemists 045 48197.
