The play tells the story of six girls christened Mary. As narrator, Jean Farrrell reads from diaries spanning the decades.

The 1950s diaries tell of nuns, processions, gym slips and much more. In the 1960s diaries focus on search for Mr Wonderful.

In the 1970s, the Marys begin married life. Throughout the following decades the friends meet regularly. The Marys discuss the true realities of married life, rearing babies, children, teenagers and then life - when all have left home.

Eventually the six Marys realise that you make your own dreams come true.

'The Six Marys' has been greatly enjoyed by audiences, in more than 100 theatres, all over Ireland.
