KILLARNEY AVENUE HOTEL
8PM


Meet Maggie Polpin - most cold-hearted widow in the county, whose merciless nature drives away her children; and who cruelly plays with the tender feelings of those closest to her...
Or is she?
Maggie is in fact a most compelling character, set against her own spectrum of uncompromising and controlling relationships; challenging those around her to constantly re-assess their own truths.
Although set in 1960s rural Ireland, John B. Keane's "Big Maggie" touches on familiar complexities which timelessly connect the modern audience with this classic piece, and thus explain the huge popularity of the play.
Depicted with a hue of darkness, and steeped in witty observations of our fellow human beings as only John B. can paint them, "Big Maggie" makes for a great night's entertainment - don't miss it!
