CARLOW LITTLE THEATRE presents Brian Friels Lovers (Losers)
Losers is a play about two older lovers, Hanna and Andy, who are trying to make a relationship while having Hanna’s mother, Mrs Wilson, and Cissy, next door neighbour, watching them constantly. Mrs Wilson and Cissy are very Catholic and do not think it is appropriate for Hanna’s and Andy’s relationship to continue. They only way Hanna and Andy can manage a ‘bit of courting’ is to have Mrs Wilson think that they are having a conversation and to this end Andy recites ‘Grey’s Elegy’ during their passionate moments. Mrs Wilson tries to break up their relationship by constantly ringing her bell, and wanting prayers.Out of this farcical situation, the only thing clear at the end is that there are no real winners in this titanic struggle between modesty and passion.
Carlow Little Theatre Society is a veteran of amateur drama in Ireland. It came into being in 1944, and boards have been trod ever since. Recent sold-out successes include ‘Lend me a Tenor’ and ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’. NB LUNCHTIME PERFORMANCE
