Skibbereen Theatre Society will be staging their latest production, “A Wake in the West” – a black comedy by Mayo man Michael Joe Ginnelly – at the Town Hall, opening on Friday, March 5, with performances also planned for Sunday 7th, Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th, nightly at 8pm.

Following the sell-out success of “Flight to Grosse Ile” during last May’s National Famine Commemoration, the latest offering from Skibbereen Theatre Society, directed by Fachtna O’Driscoll, provides a huge contrast, with side-splitting comedy antics to cheer people up in the midst of all the current doom and gloom.

Tickets for the show are available in advance from Thornhill Bros. Electrical, Skibbereen, telephone 028-22557.
