Curtain Up
by Peter Quilter
Well worth seeing - you can be assured of great entertainment"
30th September - 7th October 2023, 7.30pm
A fast-paced and very funny comedy.
Curtain Up! is the hilarious story of five women who inherit equal shares in a dilapidated theatre and plan to bring it back to life again. They try various schemes but their most ambitious is to hold a concert featuring local talent and a world-famous star who agrees to appear for no fee! However, their plans go awry and it’s a race to keep their audience from guessing the truth of the matter.
Directed by Mike Lawlor
"A mad play, full of dynamism, momentum, funny dialogue and great surprises...
Proves that purely female plays can achieve great success and lots of laughter...
