With over 130 performances to date Fred & Alice, one of the biggest hits of 2013 and 2014, is back on tour and returns to Friars’ Gate on Saturday coming, 1st October at 8pm.
Written and directed by John Sheehy (Ardpatrick), the play is performed by Ardpatrick native Cora Fenton and Ciaran Bermingham. It’s not easy to get by in this crazy old world is it? But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are 2 tennis rackets, disproportionate reactions to minor accidents, an immature coping strategy and each other.
Come see this joyous celebration of individuality. Recently awarded Best Professional Production 2015: ‘View from the Green Room’ Awards Waterford News and Star and the radio play of Fred & Alice, which was recorded by Ocean FM, has been short listed for a PPI National Radio Award in Drama.
Don’t miss this blistering head wreck played at a hilarious pace! Tickets €12/€10.
