MARY’S HOPES AND DREAMS

Written and performed by

Michael Ryan and Seán Kelleher

Directed by Geoff Gould

The hit comedy that's touring nationwide! A delightful play about life in contemporary rural Ireland. This is a unique brand of high-energy, observational comedy theatre rooted in Irish culture. It is delighting audiences with madcap moments of slapstick, rap, mime, song, dance, martial arts and swimming!

Mary's mundane life as a stay-at-home housewife is turned upside down when her best friend pushes her into a new world full of exciting opportunities. But it comes at a cost. Mary has to overcome many obstacles, the biggest being her domineering husband. Will she bow under the pressure of social norms, or can she achieve all her hopes and dreams? A cast of multiple characters joins Mary on her journey of discovery to empowerment.

After bringing “The Parish” to over 70 venues nationwide, the boys return with a delightful new comedy about life in a rural community.

The cast of colourful characters includes Cattle Dealers, Tennis players, Greyhound trainers, 80’s Pop Stars and the much loved Mary’s!
