Hilarious one liners and colourful characters will keep the audience on their toes as 'Its The Real McCoy' returns to the stage.

After two years of uncertainty and not knowing what the future may bring, those behind the show are absolutely thrilled to be able to return with the hilarious Tommy Marren comedy.

'It's The Real McCoy' began last night (Thursday) and continues tonight (Friday 25), tomorrow (Saturday 26) and Sunday 27, at 8pm nightly in the Heritage Centre Scartaglen.

And it's a production not to be missed, according to Nora Walsh from Sliabh Luachra Drama Group.

"In February 2020 we had a run of 12 sellout shows with 'It's The Real McCoy' delighting many an audience. We were extremely fortunate to have just finished before COVID hit and have such fantastic success. We had full houses every night and everyone loved the feelgood vibe this play brings."

She added that last year they were all very disappointed not to be able to hold their annual production.

"So when restrictions eased in January, we regrouped and decided that this hilarious comedy was the feelgood play everyone would need at the moment and especially after the last two years.

It is fantastic to be able to return, and people have really missed the live drama and the entertainment value it brings."

'Its The Real McCoy' is set in rural Ireland in 1964 and tells a story of two dramatic days in the life of Madge Molloy who has lived over four decades of her life wondering why her husband of only four months vanished without a trace. New curate, Fr Micheal McCoy, arrives to the parish and is about to throw a light on the reasons why her husband Tom left and what unfolds is a series of events that will have everyone in tears of laughter. Its endless hilarious one liners and colourful characters will take the audience on a rollercoaster of comedy that you won't want to exit!

"It is play that will be thoroughly enjoyed by a wide audience of both young and old!"

The cast are Madge Molloy - Moira Hughes, Maura Molloy - Mary Fleming, Martin Daly - Danny O'Leary, Nora O'Hora - Lorraine Salmon, Cora O'Hora - Ciara Kerin, Fr Michael McCoy - John Walsh, Tom Molloy - Tim Dineen, Producer - Geraldine Pigott/Nora Walsh, Set Design - Declan O'Connell, David Fleming and Danny O'Leary.

Early booking on 087 1860360 is advisable. Adults €10 and concessions €8.
