The show will take place on Wednesday December 2, 2015 at 8pm in the Lime tree Theatre. Tickets cost €5 and the running time of the play in 90 minutes including an interval. This project is supported by the LCETB adult education.

Director Karen Fitzgibbon said that the audience have a great show to look forward to: “The audience can expect a show filled with comedy, drama, a love affair likened to Romeo and Juliet story, colourful costumes, a handmade set built by the Southill men’s sheds and Musical choices rolling through the years.”

Karen added that the show is almost sold out which is very exciting for all of the cast and everyone involved: “The show is almost sold out. It holds a cast of 18, most of whom have never threaded the boards before. Wonderful comic moments, depicting life in Limerick in the early 70’s and key landmark references. Jimmy Prior is the motivation behind the project but the whole Southill community is involved in some way in this celebration and what’s even more amazing is the support from other Limerick communities who are buying up the tickets so quickly.”

Tickets are €5 and available here.
