What changes we have seen in that time.!! It features many locals and guests who discuss a wide range of topics - washing and cooking without electricity, the war & rationing, farming etc....
Jim Treacy plays the mouthorgan and a young Joanne Treacy sings. We see a young Anne Phelan, Castlemahon, now a violinist with the RTE Concert Orchestra.
It will be a wonderful opportunity to remember all these people and their stories as they recall what life was like for them growing up, a fascinating night of information. No entry fee and light refreshments included.

The play is set in the living room of Albert and Muriel Perkins.

Why is he posing in the nude? Is he a man or a woman?

SHOP LOCAL:
Thinking about Christmas shopping - here's an Idea. Try and buy from small local businesses and self employed people e.g. local craftspeople, florists, bakers, food producers, knitters, artists, jewellery makers, candle makers etc. By supporting small businesses, your money goes to individuals instead of multinationals. This might help more local people and help them have a better Christmas.
