Moll by John B. Keane is a hilarious comedy about life in an Irish country presbytery giving an insight into who is truly running local affairs in a fictional parish.
The comedy opens in Canon Pratt’s parlour, when he and his two curates, Fr Brest and Fr Loran, are faced with the problem of replacing their housekeeper. As the comedy develops, many changes come to the parish and the parochial house.
When the presbytery gets a new housekeeper, it is like “a country that gets a change of government”, or a family who gets a new stepmother.
Moll Kettle would work for no less than a Canon for, in her own words, ‘Tis hard to come back to the plain black and white when one is used to the purple’.
Moll is directed by Jim Morey with Moll played by Olwyn Dillon and a cast of six local talented actors and will take place in The Mall Arts Centre, Youghal, on Thursday 5th, Friday 6th and Saturday, 7th
October commencing each night at 8.00pm sharp.
