The spring production of ‘All The Way Back’ by Bernard Farrell will take to the Courthouse Theatre stage from 20th to 24th March. The play will be directed by Kevin Roche and we wish him well with the production and rehearsals are already up and running. More details on cast and production team next week.

‘All The Way Back’ was first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin in March 1985.It tells the hilarious tale of the turmoil that ensues in the Ryan household in an upmarket residential area of Dublin’s southside, when the ever-practical Sheila Ryan decides on a course of action to boost the family’s depleted income. Her husband Brendan, a middle-aged redundant executive, has been out of work for eighteen months and there is a big household to support, as they strive to keep up appearances.
