Cecelia AHern's MRS. WHIPPY434 days ago
 
Has anyone out there – ever felt what its like to drown?

Because we all have a moment.
They’re the moments that break us.
They’re the moments that make us – put ourselves
back together again.

City Theatre Dublin & MCD present the World Premiere of Cecelia Aherns’ first play MRS WHIPPY for a limited run at Liberty Hall Theatre opening 29th October, low price previews from 22nd October at 7.30pm nightly.

Emelda is forty-six years old, struggling to cope with life after her husband Charlie left her for a twenty-three year old dancer. Her five difficult sons worship their father and blame Emelda for his leaving. On top of everything else, she has to struggle with a new job at the local supermarket. For comfort she turns to her only true friend – ice-cream.

Sitting on her battered 25 year old sofa eating her way through another tub of “Ben and Jerrys’ , mourning all that she’s lost, she hears the gentle tinkling sound that sends children rushing outside. 

The soothing sounds of a Mr. Whippy van arrive at just the right time for Emelda, only now it’s not just the ice-cream that is her only true friend...

Liberty Hall Theatre is one of Dublin’s most intimate venues and has easy access from both the Tara Street Dart station and the Red Luas line. Parking is available at the Irish Life Abbey Street Car Park.
