Nenagh Players back on stage with ‘A Night of Comedy’

Nenagh Players are delighted to be getting back on stage with two hilarious One Act plays at Nenagh Arts Centre on Monday, March 14th, Tuesday, March 15th, and Wednesday March 16 th,2022 at 8pm nightly.

The two One Act plays are Last Tango in Little Grimley by David Tristram and The Lithium Waltz by Barry Mc Kinley.

Last Tango in Little Grimley by David Tristram is the story of The Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society which is in trouble. Membership has dwindled to four, Gordon, the chairman (played by Stuart Andrew), Bernard (played by Noel Stanley), Joyce (played by Noreen Kelly) and Margaret (played by Helen Kinsella) the audiences aren't much bigger, and if they don't come up with some rent money soon, they're going to be thrown out

"There's only one thing that sells tickets these days," argues Chairman Gordon, "Sex!"

But how will the locals react to the promise of a sizzling sex comedy? All is revealed in this hilarious play directed by Heather Broad.

The Lithium Waltz by Barry Mc Kinley is a black comedy set in a psychiatric hospital which tells the tale of Billy Carson (played by Kevin Ryan). Billy is in for an assessment to determine whether this hospital should be his new home.

While there he gets some useful dance tips from Tommy Tango (played by Seamus McCarthy) and his dance partner Lydia (played by Marie Nagle) learns about lies from the demon-with-the-clipboard Priscilla (played by Heather Broad), acquires a taste for 'rocket-fuel' from The Professor (played by Ronan Dodd) and is shown the ropes by know-it-all Joanie O’Reilly (played by Caroline Morgan) and directed by Kevin Whelan.

We hope you will join us one of the nights for what promises to be a very entertaining and fun night.

Tickets €10 available from Nenagh Arts Centre 067 34400.
