[FONT=georgia,serif]Colton Theatre Company[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]present another chance to see their debut production[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]'This Lime Tree Bower'[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]written by Conor McPherson[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]At The Cork Arts Theatre [/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]Monday 8th of November to Saturday 13th of November @ 8p.m.[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]All tickets €10! Box Office (021) 4505624 [/FONT]Directed by Killian CollinsFeaturing Kevin Twomey, Eamonn Doyle and Jody Quirke.
[FONT=georgia,serif]This Lime Tree Bower features three young men from a small Dublin seaside town telling the overlapping tale of one fateful weekend. Ray is the boyfriend of Carmel, sister to Joe and Frank. They all live with their widower father, who operates a chipper at the Dublin seaside. Each character has his own story to tell: Joe, of coming-of-age as he searches for adventure to extricate himself from the boredom of school; Frank, of the hatching of his great plan to solve all the family’s troubles; and Ray, of the unsettling effects of too much booze and sex with students on his academic performance, as well as of his convenient if unanticipated involvement in Frank's scheme. Conor McPherson’s This Lime Tree Bower is a funny and moving tale of how three inextricably linked lives are turned upside down in a matter of days.[/FONT]join us on our Facebook page @ www.groups.to/coltontheatrecompany0 -
