Gowran Little Theatre is set to delight audiences with two hilarious One-Act Comedies by acclaimed playwright, David Tristram. On May 27th and 28th, 2025, the stage of Gowran Parish Hall will come alive with side-splitting laughter in An Evening of One Act Comedies. Under the direction of Peter Madden and Michael Hayes, this evening promises to be an unforgettable blend of wit, charm, and comedy.
Women Only
Directed by Peter Madden, Women Only follows the story of Laura, a stressed-out divorcee who decides to take her recently widowed mother, Ruth, on a much-needed holiday. After a few gin and tonics, Laura’s world is turned upside down. What begins as a relaxing getaway soon spirals into a whirlwind of unexpected revelations. As the plot thickens, will there be an unforeseen twist to their family dynamics? Starring Orna Ward and Clare Gibbs, Women Only is a light-hearted exploration of family, secrets, and surprises.
A Jolly Sinister Jape
Directed by Michael Hayes, A Jolly Sinister Jape, set in the roaring twenties, four characters – Stubby, Ophelia, Biffy, and Fatty – find themselves trapped in a mysterious house during a thunderstorm. What starts as innocent fun takes a sinister turn. Is it all part of someone’s idea of a jape, or is something far darker afoot? With sharp comedic timing and clever dialogue, this fast-paced comedy promises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Featuring an all-star cast of Nicola Harding, Linda Beale, Mike Brown, and Alan Grant, the play brings a delightful mix of suspense and humour.
Tickets for An Evening of One Act Comedies are available online at www.gr8events.ie/oneactcomedies or in person at Glasraí & Goodies Shop, Main Street, Gowran.
