Drama lovers will be interested in ‘The Story’, written and performed by Timmy O’Mahony, which comes to Kilworth Community Centre on Thursday of next week, September 22.
Tom Walsh is a bit of a recluse who does nothing but watch Sherlock Holmes films but when his friend George goes missing, he starts to think like Sherlock Holmes in a frantic effort to save George before it’s too late. It is a journey of the self as he attempts to find his way in the world again.
