Philip and Rowena will show you how to live life to the fullest. Fun and laughter is part of their journey- come and join them at Killarney Avenue Hotel.

None of us wants to think about dying but when faced with the reality, hospice care is now an option for all of us.

Hospice care focuses on relief from pain and the physical and mental stress associated with terminal illness. The goal is to concentrate on the quality of life (rather than length) for the patient and their families.

Gillian Plowman’s play “Philip and Rowena” is a poignant but beautiful illustration of two terminally ill people who are determined to enjoy their lives. They have accepted the inevitable. Fate has brought them together and they find friendship, romance and an amazing capacity for fun!

We also meet Rowena’s son and daughter and Philip’s estranged wife as well as the care staff.

During rehearsals, Dochas Drama cast members and director Liz Ryan decided that it provides a fitting tribute to the philosophy of Hospice care and to all of those who provide this wonderful service. As a result, it was decided to present “Philip & Rowena” to promote hospice awareness in our area.

Despite the theme, the play provides many humorous moments and we have no doubt that you will enjoy it!

Killarney Avenue Hotel on November 8^th, 9^th, 10^th & 11^th at 8pm. Tickets 10 euro available at the door. Doors open at 7.15pm. Proceeds to Kerry Hospice.
