We are a newly formed drama group in the Artane area of Dublin, After great success with our first production in December with our Panto "Aladdin" we are about to embark with our second production. A fantastic Comedy titled " It runs in the Family

It run in the Family

The action takes place some three days before Christmas in the Doctor's Common Room of St Andrew's Hospital in London.
Dr. David Mortimore is composing the speech he will give to a distinguished gathering of some 200 neurologists, a speech which may well make or break his career.
All he needs is a little peace and quiet to finish it.....Unfortunately for our hero, peace and quiet is in very short supply. A nurse named Jane Tate with whom he had an affair years ago turns up to confront him with the fact that he is the father of her Son Leslie, who is now eighteen.
Not only that, but Leslie is now downstairs in the hospital and is desperate to meet the Dad he has never seen.
How on earth can Dr. Mortimore keep this catastrophic news from his wife and the hospital authorities, and still deliver his speech?
This hilarious farce reveals the sorry tale, and involves Mortimore's hapless colleague Dr. Bonney, a police sergeant, a senile patient, an assortment of matrons (real & fake), a young doctor hell bent on producing the Christmas show, a syringe full of tranquiliser, a dead body, a truck full of lies and costumes from the hospital Christmas pantomime.

 

Our production dates will be the 17th , 18th , 19th June in the Axis Theatre Ballymun.

Tickets - €13.00 / €10.00 available through the Axis Theatre booking line 01 - 883 2100 or www.axis-ballymun.ie
