Druid presents My Brilliant Divorce by Geraldine Aron in the Town Hall Theatre from Wednesday 7 November until Saturday 10 November.

Starring Deirdre O'Kane, this is the hilarious but poignant story of Angela, who finds herself adrift in a sea of weird sexual encounters, sneaky solicitors, phone-in counsellors, a bad case of hypochondria and the spectre of poverty when she is deserted by her accountant husband for a younger model. Should she fight to keep her husband? Or should she sign the final papers and move on?

One of Ireland's best known stand up comedians, Deirdre began her career as an actress and has played every major theatre in Ireland, as well as touring Australia, Canada and the UK. Her most recent role was Jean in two sold-out runs of Dandelions at the Olympia in 2006.

Geraldine Aron was born in Galway, but spent most of her adult life in Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. She now divides her time between Cape Town and London. Geraldine's association with Druid goes back to 1978 when Garry Hynes directed the Irish premiere of her first play, the multi-award winning Bar and Ger.

Her plays, produced throughout the world, include A Galway Girl, Same Old Moon, The Donahue Sisters and The Stanley Parkers. She is the author of 12 plays produced for television and radio, and Toscanini, a screenplay directed by Franco Zeffirelli.

Tickets are available from the Town Hall Theatre on 091-569777.
