Coolera Dramatic Society Myra's Story

by Brian Foster

Friday 20th January 2012 | 8pm | €15/€12

This production, the first presentation of this adaptation, is directed by Bobby Jones and stars Castlerea native Mary McDonnell in a truly astonishing one woman performance, a performance of incredible depth that has left audiences amazed and deeply moved and has garnered standing ovations each night.

Brian Foster's play chronicles the highs and infinite lows of Dublin woman, Myra McLoughlin. Motherless from a young age, and living with a father who clings increasingly to the dubious solace provided by drink, Myra sees marriage as her only way out of a bleak future which already seems pre-destined. Along comes Tommy McLoughlin, and together they dream of a future happiness which will transcend their environment.

Please note that this show is not suitable for children.
