Gowran Little Theatre is bustling with activity as they gear up for their highly anticipated production, “An Evening of One Acts and Monologues,” set to grace the stage of Gowran Parish Hall on June 7th and 8th.
Under the expert guidance of directors Michael Hayes and Peter Madden, the atmosphere is charged with excitement and a hint of nervous energy. “We’re on the edge of our seats with anticipation,” says Hayes. “But rest assured, it’s all in preparation for what promises to be an unforgettable blend of comedy and drama. Audiences are in for a treat!”
The line-up boasts a talented ensemble featuring Edward Hayden, Kevina Hayes, Ann Farrell, and Mike Brown in David Tristram’s uproarious one-act, “Last Tango in Gowran.”
Directed by Michael Hayes, this side-splitting tale follows the plight of a struggling local theatre group on the brink of collapse. As Chairman Gordon (played by Edward Hayden) puts it, “There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days: sex!”
Brace yourselves for an evening of hilarity and home-grown drama that will leave locals talking for days.
A GOTHIC TALE
Meanwhile, “Dead Man’s Bells,” a captivating gothic rural tale directed by Peter Madden, unfolds through the voices of unreliable narrators. With intermingling narratives that break the fourth wall and reconstruct events through staged memories, audiences are invited on a mesmerising journey. Led by Judith McCormack, Orna Ward, and Dee Gibney, three sisters navigate the murky waters of family secrets, misdeeds, and the uncertain fate of their ancestral farm.
Prepare to be spellbound by this communal narrative exploring the intricacies of sibling hood and the weight of unspoken truths.
Rounding off the night of entertainment, local talents including John Kennedy, Anne Murray, Clodagh Corrigan, and Róisín McQuillan will deliver sharp and comedic monologues guaranteed to leave the audience in stitches.
Tickets for these two unmissable evenings of entertainment are available for purchase online at www.gowranlittletheatre.com or in person at Glasraí & Goodies Shop on Main Street, Gowran. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the magic!
