From the author’s website: “Michael struggles with redundancy and his new role as a stay-at-home husband. He meets the charismatic Chris, who offers him hope along with a job as a security guard. But soon, this friendship leads to tensions on the home front and the disapproval of Michael’s wife, Maeve.” Directed by Michelle Crowley

OUTSIDE MULLINGAR Runs April 21-30

IATC_logoOUTSIDE MULLINGAR
Irish American Theater Company
April 21-30
Irish Heritage Center of Greater Cincinnati [East End]

Directed by Karen O’Brien

Cast: Maureen Kennedy as Aoife, Eric Kilpatrick as Anthony, Mick McEvilley as Tony & Carrington Rowe as Rosemary

A love story told with wit and wisdom, from the farms of the Irish midlands to your seat in the Irish Heritage Center Theater, “Outside Mullingar” is a lighter, slighter play, a softhearted comedy freckled with dark reflections on the unsatisfactory nature of life and the thorns of love. But the author’s lyrical writing, and the production, directed by Karen O’Brien, give such consistent pleasure that even though we know the equations that define romantic comedys will add up to the familiar sums, we are happy to watch as they do.Tickets on Sale now.
