The Country Boy comes to Thomastown this bank holiday weekend

Fourth Wall Laois Theatre Group’s production of John Murphy’s play ‘The Country Boy’ is a humorous but poignant love story that examines emigration, the impact of dreams on reality, and the challenges of returning home after seeking a better life abroad.

Eddie returns to Ireland with his American wife Julia intent on bringing his brother Curly to America.

Curly is in love with the lively and beautiful Eileen but feels he must emigrate alone to make his fortune and return in a few years to marry her.

Curly’s mother Mary Kate’s heart is breaking at the thought of him leaving.

This comedy is directed by David Corri and will be performed at the Thomastown Community Hall on May 3 and 4 at 8pm. Tickets are €12/€10.
