It’s The Real McCoy has been touring Ireland for three years and holds the title of the longest-running amateur production in the country.
The two-hour drama which unfolds within the walls of protagonist Madge Molloy’s humble cottage in 1964 has been performed nearly 200 times across Ireland, Britain and America.
Written by Mayo-based radio presenter Tommy Marren, the comedy is littered with distinctive Irish sayings like “what’s in the dog always comes out in the pup” and “a squeaky bicycle always gets the grease”.
Performed by The Crokey Hill Club, the production hits Coventry in March with the promise of 300 laughs in two hours.
It’s The Real McCoy at the Albany Theatre, Coventry on March 20 and March 21, 8pm. See www.albanytheatre.co.uk or call 02476 998964
