Loca drama group return with hilarious comedy “I'll Get My Man”

The cast of Rathcabbin Players production ‘I’ll Get My Man’, a farce written by Philip King and directed by Paul Spencer, which will be staged in Rathcabbin Hall from January 29th to February 1st.

RATHCABBIN Players return for their annual production with a four night run of 'I'll Get My Man', which will be staged in Rathcabbin Hall from Thursday January 29th to Sunday February 1st at 8pm nightly.

This year's production is yet another hilarious comedy that is sure to entertain audiences and provide lots of laughs.

What do you do when your treasured housekeeper of many years, the person who has fed and clothed you, taken care of you and all your needs and watched over you for all that time suddenly has a falling out with your sister who lives with you and quits.

Who is going to look after you? Who will take care of you now? Who will make sure you have your trousers on when you are suppose to?

This is the dilemma facing Reverend Arthur Humphries, a gentle, mild mannered and absent minded man. What do you do? You advertise, that's what!

Unfortunately the wording of that advertisement is critically important and it pays to make sure you ask the right questions and include all the important details, otherwise you might draw the interest of people you don't want to be looking at you!

Poor Rev. Humphrey wakes up one day to find the national media and a horde of lonely women suddenly find him the most interesting man on the planet!

Add into the mix a famous TV actor who just happens to be his nephew and is also on the run from the same media, not to mention a certain pop singer with romantic ideas of her own and you get the perfect recipe for hilarious mayhem and pandemonium.

This year's production stars many long time members of Rathcabbin Players, including Hubert Hogan Humphrey), Pat Kennedy (Bishop) Marguerite Walsh (Josephine), Fiona Kennedy (Winifred), Darina Kelly (Harriette), Maria Maher (Pixie) and Fiona Maher O'Brien (Mrs Carter). This year they also have a couple of newcomers making their debut with Rathcabbin Players and they are Mel Kennedy (Photographer and voice off stage) and Paul Cahalan (Peter).

Paul has been involved with the stage since 1982 and has taken roles in many plays and musicals since then including directing in Killavilla, Kinnitty and Coolderry.
