Big Telly Theatre CompanypresentsPuckoonBased on the Novel by Spike MilliganThe novel concerns the troubles brought to the fictional Irish village ofPuckoon by the Partition of Ireland: the new border, due to a lapse by theBoundary Commission, passes right through the village, resulting in suchabsurdities as the church and graveyard being in different countries (theresulting disruption to funerals, exacerbated by the border guards’ insistencethat all members of the funeral party including the corpse must have validpassports, is a major motivator for the latter part of the plot). Nearly all of thelocal pub is in the Republic of Ireland, but one small inglenook is in Ulster,where beer is sold at a cheaper price; consequently, all the customers keeptrying to crowd into that one tiny corner of the pub.Saturday 14th FebruaryTime: 8:30pm | Adm: m18 & m16Direct from the USA!presentingMan in BlackJohnny Cash Tribute ShowThursday 19th FebruaryTime: 8:30pm | Adm: m25
