CLANABOGAN Drama Circle is bringing its award winning production of the contemporary comedy, ‘Fortunes and Misfortunes’ to the stage of the Alley Theatre next week.
Written by Irish playwright Jimmy Keary, the opening act of the play is set in The Cosy Corner Café with Daisy Fortune played by Veronica McAfee sharing her disillusion with the drudgery of life as a waitress under the watchful eye of café owner Gloria Harte played by Nora O’Neill.
Veronica is joined on stage by Aoife Clerkin who plays the irresponsible and grouchy waitress Gina Berry. Gina is most dismayed with the lack of romance emanating from Daisy’s son Nathan played by newcomer Ruairí Hanratty. In spite of the devoted attention from his mother and prospective girlfriend, Nathan’s affections lie in his beloved pet lizard Kylie and this leads to much chaos and comedy.
Emma Pearson and Marie Hague are co-directors of the production and are delighted with the mix of drama regulars and newcomers to provide an abundance of comedic moments. A family friendly comedy not to be missed, Clanabogan Drama Circle guarantees a wealth of laugh-out-loud moments in this mad-capped, farce-like, hit comedy!
The performance takes place on Saturday April 27. Tickets to be purchased through the Alley website.
