Cork Opera House and Stage Centre present
The Good Sisters By Michel Tremblay
Based on the Martin Bowman and Bill Findlay Scottish translation of the play.
Directed by Marion Wyatt and the creative team that brought us The Sunbeam Girls
Cork audiences were delighted at seeing their friends, sisters, neighbours and themselves during workshop performances of The Good Sisters in the Half Moon Theatre in 2008.
Now there will be more opportunities to laugh and cry with the ladies of the Northside, when this hilarious and heart breaking dramatic comedy moves to the main stage for its official Irish premiere.
It’s 1965, and a local lady has won a million Green Shield stamps – the equivalent of striking it rich in the Lotto. From that mixed blessing comes wild and raucous action and an homage to that greatest of working class passions: bingo!
Stage Centre has assembled a talented cast of fifteen Cork women, the majority of whom were The Sunbeam Girls, to portray some really desperate housewives who share stories – most funny, some outrageous and others simply sad – and with that the night comes to an explosive end.
