"One of the funniest evenings I have ever spent in the theatre" Daily Mail. Ranelagh Arts Festival are delighted to collaborate for the first time with our friends in the Focus Theatre (Ranelagh's nearest professional theatre). Taking its tone and form from 1940s Film Noir, Simon Toal's one-man show weaves pastiche with astute political satire to deliver an energetic, often surreal showcase for his talents. This Pastiche of pulp fiction noir will leave you rocking in the aisles.
Return to Ranelagh of
Mrs. NELLIE MURPHY
Ranelagh born comedian Orla McGovern will be performing 'impromptu sessions' throughout the Festival.
Last year Mrs. Nellie Murphy, a rich widow from the Coombe, where she had her own fresh haddock distribution business, visited Ranelagh for the Festival. She met (in a local pub) and was smitten by a handsome lad from the west called Michael. The path of true love never runs smooth. Her mobile phone containing Michael's number was left in a Ranelagh taxi. She is returning this year to find and 'wring the neck' of the taxi man who charged her £1.18s and 6p for her fare back to The Coombe but mainly to meet that broth of a boy from the west called Michael. Keep an eye out for Nellie during the Festival, she's great fun and loves a gargle.
