"Laugh out loud funny………..an accomplished piece of work." Irish Theatre Magazine.
Calipo Theatre Company invite you to join Mad Mary as she searches for a 'nice boy' among the geeks, freaks and misfits of small town Ireland, learning the hard way that sometimes being a lover is tougher than being a fighter.
Mary McArdle is the best fighter in Drogheda, a title that earned her the moniker 'Mad Mary' when she was 15. But now she's 23 and returning to her home town after serving a six month stretch in Mountjoy prison.
" a fun hour of theatre for anyone who has experienced the awkwardness of an online date"
Broadway Baby * * * *
Back home, things have changed and the only thing Mary has to look forward to is being bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding, but even this comes at a price – she has to find a date to bring to the wedding... and preferably one who'll wear a suit that matches her dress.
"This is the perfect example of a one-person show. From the very first moment, Caoilfhionn Dunne is utterly convincing; tough, funny and vulnerable."
