Right-Jim Malone, Esther Byrne and Kevin Power in rehearsals
Rehearsals are in full swing for Clonmel Theatre Guild’s production of It Runs In The Family by Ray Cooney. The comedy is set in the doctor’s common room at St Andrews Hospital.
Doctor David Mortimore is about to deliver the Ponsonby lecture which will probably earn him a knighthood. While he is putting the final touches to his speech an old flame, Jane Tate arrives and announces that their liaison years ago resulted in a son, Leslie.
Leslie is down stairs desperate to meet his dad. Frantic to hide this catastrophic news from his wife and the hospital authorities, David is forced to invent not one but two non-existent husbands for Jane and enlist the help of his colleague Hubert Bonney.
Events are further complicated by the presence of a police sergeant, a wandering senile patient, an assortment of matrons (real and otherwise), a syringe full of tranquillizer and costumes for the hospital pantomime.
The play runs from Tuesday December 6 to the 9 at Raheen House Hotel and tickets are available from the Book Market Market Place phone (052) 612 9236
