"Tuesdays with Morrie" is a heart-warming play, directed by John McDwyer, that tells the story of a man named Mitch who meets a teacher named Morrie when he signs up for one of his classes at Brandeis University.

Over the years they remain close and when it comes time for Mitch to leave he promises Morrie he will keep in touch. He doesn't.

It is sixteen years before they meet again.

Morrie is dying of Lou Gehrig's disease. Once they renew their friendship Mitch's visits to Morrie become a regular thing (every Tuesday) and during these visits he begins to learn some of the secrets of life - and death

"Tuesdays with Morrie" is live theatre at its best and can be seen at Tuar Ard Theatre on Friday and Saturday, February 26 and 27, at 8.30pm.
