Holycross/Ballycahill Drama Group bring The Whiteheaded Boy to Holycross Connunity Centre on 19th, 20th and 21st of Novembe
Every family has a 'favourite ' child, whether they openly admit it or not. Ann Geoghegan makes no secret of who her favourite child is; her youngest son Denis, her Whiteheaded boy! Born after her 'three lumps of girls' Kate, Jane and Baby and two older boys George and Peter, Denis enjoys the fruits of everyone else's labour while he studies at Trinity College in the hope of fulfilling his mother’s dream of becoming a doctor.
He has failed his exams for a third time while living a playboy lifestyle in Dublin, forgetting his girlfriend back home, Delia Duffy, who is promised to him since they were young.
Dennis's brother George has had enough, and vows to pack him off to Canada so the rest of the family can have a chance of fulfilling some of their own dreams and wishes. When wealthy Aunt Ellen and Delia's father John Duffy make an appearance, things get a little heated in more ways than one! And what about Donnagh? Will he ever get to marry Jane?
Fine out the answers to these questions, and more, at Holycross Connunity Centre on 19th, 20th and 21st of November at 8pm to see how this dysfunctional family solve their differences.
Admission €15 and €12 consession. Tea and Raffle on the night.
