BALLYFIN Players Winter production of the hilarious comedy ‘Wake in the West’ by MJ Ginnelly will be performed in the Balcony Theatre, Mountmellick Arts Centre on Friday and Saturday 22 and 23 November.
The cast comprises of John Fingleton, Brian Walsh, Anne Marie Colgan, Cormac Smith, Colette Cashin, Grace Milne, David O’Brien, Gráinne Linden, Larry Ryan and Triona O’Rourke. Props and costumes by Carole Mooney and directed by AC Reynolds. The MC on both nights is Donncha Phelan.
This is the first theatre project of the newly reformed Ballyfin Players and their first time to perform in two years since ‘The Case’ which was under the keen direction of Frances Harney.
Ballyfin Players reformed this March with some new and old faces. It is comprised of local people wanting to master or practice a new skill and who want to enjoy entertaining and meeting people.
The play - ‘Wake in the West’ - is set on the West coast of Ireland during the Wake of Tom Healy who drank himself to death and now wishes his grave to be a watery one by requesting a cremation and the scattering of his ashes at sea. The fun begins when a neighbour decides that Tom is not entitled to take it all with him.
The proceeds of the raffle from the two nights will go towards the Parents Association of Ballyfin National School for their Astro Turf Development Fund.
