A comedy with a few serious bits! John McDwyer describes his play, Turning Mammy, as a comedy with a few serious bits. Sisters Martha and Mary live together on the family farm. Mary is involved in a long term search for her baby who was adopted at birth while Martha is involved in a long term wait for neighbour, Ambrose’s Mammy to die so that she can finally marry the love of her life. That’s as simple as it gets, however, as we discover dysfunctional people with deep secrets and passions. Directed by the author, this is a play with as many laugh out loud set-ups as moments of sadness. Another Beezneez winner.

Following at 8.15pm will be Heroes, a powerful opera/dance performance, thrillingly delivered by John Scott, choreographer, dancer and operatic tenor.

The music portrays heroes battling impossible dark forces and conquering darkness paralleled with the idea of escape. Scott channels the characters, battling impossible dark forces, making the mythological personal. Scott collaborated with French- Palestinian sound artist, Jassem Hindi in creating a sound environment for the operatic echoes to resonate.

Ailie is joined by her six-piece band and very special guests, Laetare Vocal Ensemble, conducted by Róisin Blunnie.

Set in October 1978 - Pope John Paul the First is not long dead, autumn is closing in and Pat Farnon has ‘some business’ to do in town. Regarded as, “A miniature masterpiece” by The Times of London, The Man in Woman’s Shoes follows Pat Farnon as he walks to town and back again. It is a beautifully observed piece, utterly simple and Murfi’s “astonishing acting” has been widely praised. The show is funny, tender and at times downright daft. You might just fall in love with life again.
