TWO NIGHTS ONLY May 12 & 13…. The ‘M’ Boat by Eddie Alford

With the minimum of props, the actors will use mime and other techniques to convert the handsome dark wood interior of The Geese in Southover Street into the Grand Canal half a century ago.

Playwright Dubliner Eddie Alford has created a vivid cast of characters that sing, tell tales, drink part of the precious cargo, fall out with one another and fall in love. 

The seven strong cast were recruited through this newsletter and include Dubliner Darragh Brady a professional musician who once played Paul McCartney in an Indian film, TV actor Ken Lawrence who has appeared in Eastenders, The Bill, Holby City and South of the Border, Katya Boirand who studied drama at the Sorbonne in Paris, and Maddie Herrington who performed last year with Niamh Cusack at The National Theatre in London and has appeared in  Waking The Dead television series.

Described as a “classic piece of comedy” by the Tribune in Shannon when it first performed, ‘The M Boat’ will take over The Geese in Southover Street BN2 9UA at 8pm on Tuesday 12^th May and Wed 13^th May. Tickets are  £5 and are likely to sell out before the first night.  An authentically Irish two course supper is also available before the show at 7.15 pm for an additional £8.50
