Big Telly’s smash hit stage production of Spike Milligan’s Puckoon comes to the MAC by popular demand. A sell-out success on its previous Irish and UK tour, audiences are promised a rip-roaring night of humour with this absurd blend of theatrical anarchy, musical wit and impossible plot.
Ireland 1922, and the Ulster Boundary Commission has drawn the new border straight through the small town of Puckoon. With the church separated from its own graveyard and drink now thirty percent cheaper in one corner of the pub, life in the newly divided village will never be the same again. Based on the book by Spike Milligan, this comic masterpiece is an irreverent and hilarious story which takes the mick, celebrates the absurd, and paints a picture of a simple life that borders on the ridiculous.
Staring an all-star cast; Paddy Jenkins (Game of Thrones, Dancing Shoes; the George Best Story), Patrick J O’ Reilly (Gulliver, Cabaret), Keith Singleton (Hatch, One Sandwich Short of a Genius), John O Mahony (As you like it, Mrs Browns Boys, Fr.Ted), Giles Stoakley (A midsummer night’s Dream, A tale of two Cities) and Paul Alexander Boyd (multi award-nominated writer, composer, and theatre director).
Puckoon is on at The MAC from 20 – 30 Apr 2016
