Tuar Ard to host local playwright's No Harm Done

"No Harm Done" a play directed by Amelia Keena and performed by local group "No Fixed Abode" promises to woo audiences in Tuar Ard Theatre Moate. Outstanding performances will have audiences on the edge of their seats each evening, with a wonderful yet interesting mix of both drama and comedy. This topical play, definitely not to be missed, touches on a tender subject in a tasteful manner and is filled with humour, wit and sadness which are cleverly portrayed through a variety of cunning, sly, genuine and unfortunate characters that can only be described as being the good, the bad and the downright ugly. If you enjoyed Margaret McKenna Mullan's "The Sleeveens" and "Promises Promises" then "No Harm Done" is a play not to not missed. Father Mathew Mullholland, played by Eoin Kiveney touches the hearts of the audience throughout, while the theatrics of his childish and over jealous brother Ciaran (played by Paul Slevin) will have audiences laughing out loud. His adoring mother Maura (played by Joan Larkin) is the dutiful mother and wife who as the play unfolds will shock audiences as her true character unfolds, This of course is provoked by the mischievous behaviour of her chauvinistic and arrogant husband Gerald Mullholland. Gerald's character (played by Eoin Croffy) will capture the audiences interest from the off and will entertain all with his slimy behaviour and pompous remarks until Solicitor Jolene O'Reilly, (played by Linda Murray) puts a spanner in the works for the otherwise, holier than thou Mullholland family. Conniving Fr David (played by Olly Berry) also causes a huge stir with the audience, amusing them with his happy go lucky pretence. No Harm Done will be performed in Moate's Tuar Ard on Friday, October 1 and Saturday, October 2, commencing at 8.30pm. For booking contact Tuar Ard Theatre on 090 6482042.
