Local theatre group Croi Productions new play 'Mary Finnegan's Wake' will be staged in the Town Hall Theatre at the end of the month from Wednesday 28 to Friday 30 October

Starring Neringa Katiliute, Brendan Gilmartin, Tina Hannon, Sinead Bracken, Siobhan Molloy, Mike O'Connor, Pete Ryan, Alan Keogh, George Percival, Ciara Griffin and Joanne Kavanagh, 'Mary Finnegan's Wake' is an original play written and directed Alex Perry and produced by Maria Anastacia Keogh.

Inspired by James Joyce's famous novel 'Finnegan's Wake', it's a comedy-horror supernatural tale set on the night of Halloween in contemporary Galway with flashbacks to an 'age of sorcery' in medieval Galway.

Tristan is broken hearted and intends to leap to his doom from the Wolfe Tone Bridge into the River. There he unexpectedly meets the mysterious 'ghostwriter' who opens his eyes to an age-old struggle between ghosts and witches.

Tristan becomes caught up in a race against evil forces to find a mysterious woman in the water. His own fate and that of the world depends upon it. This story will both have you holding on to the edge of your seat and falling off it with laughter.

Tickets are available for booking now from the Town Hall Theatre box office on 091-569777 or from www.tht.ie.
