Drama group to perform for three nights in Westport
With a cast of 10, some well known and some new faces appear in this production.
St. Patrick's Drama Group are back on the Westport stage this week for three nights, with a brand new, specially written, comedy play called "Closing Limbo"
Westport playwright Séamus McNally wrote the opening play for Westport Town Hall Theatre in 2015.
He's back with this, his newest play, a razor-sharp comedy about an afterlife quango so badly run, even the Devil is trying to get out!
Expect Divine Justice, a three-card trick, and the women who always knew!
With a cast of 10, some well known and some new faces appear in this production.
Devil's Mother (Gertie Foley): She reared him, she's proud of him, and she'll thank you not to judge.
Lucifer (Niall Ó Chuinn): Charming, polite, elegant, and possibly not entirely sincere. The dictionary is his gospel.
Julius Caesar (Paul Mekatarian): Presiding judge. Has seen everything. Cares about nothing. His glass is always full. He is all empty.
John Paul Ignatius Saul (Rob Holloway): Part saint, all mouth.
Lady Godiva (Eithne McGreal): She rode naked through Coventry for women's rights. Another fashion statement?
Eva Costello (Tia Crowley): Dublin woman. Short life. Long story.
Myra Mooney (Marion Moran): Sligo woman. Quiet. Respectable. (Pinch of salt advised.) Lucinda Flanagan (Bernie Beirne): Dublin 4. Even in the afterlife, standards must be maintained.
Mary Magdalene (Martina Ryan): She accompanied Jesus,advocated for women, and actually hates feet. Men wrote the bible.
Ward Clerk (Ann Brady): Low on lines, high on heels. You'll remember her!
But we don't want to give too much away so you'll have to come see for yourself! Closing Limbo runs Wednesday 18th, Thursday 19th & Friday 20th November, curtain up 8.00pm (doors 7.30pm). T
ickets are €18/€16(conc) and are available on the door, or to purchase in advance from westporttheatre.com or by calling the box office on 098 28459.
