Four night run at Moyne Community Centre from January 29 with Katie Chapple directing

Moyne Variety Group will bring Ray Cooney’s well known farce Run for Your Wife to the stage this week, with a four night run planned at Moyne Community Centre.

The production will be staged from Thursday January 29 to Sunday February 1, with performances beginning at 8pm each evening. The venue is Moyne Community Centre, E41 EE39.

Run for Your Wife centres on taxi driver John Ryan, whose carefully managed double life with two unsuspecting wives begins to unravel after an unforeseen incident draws the attention of the police.

The play is widely regarded as a classic of British farce, noted for its rapid pace, misunderstandings and tightly constructed plot.

The show will be directed by Katie Chapple, a long standing member of Moyne Variety Group who first appeared on stage with the group in 2013.

She returns to the director’s role following last year’s production of The Real McCoy. Outside the theatre, Ms Chapple is Director of WorldWise Global Schools, Irish Aid’s national programme for Global Citizenship Education in Ireland.

Tickets cost €15 plus booking fee. They are available in advance via links on the group’s social media pages, with advance booking strongly advised.

Tickets will also be available at the door on each night, with payment by cash only.
