10 Dates with Mad Mary
10 DATES WITH MAD MARY
A Romantic Comedy (sort of)
BY Yasmine Akram. Directed by Darren Thornton.
Featuring Caoilfhionn Dunne
After its highly successful run in Edinburgh, 10 Dates with Mad Mary toured to eight venues in Ireland from the 27 September 2010. Finishing in Ennis on Friday 15 October, and after twelve shows around the country, it's time for a rest. But watch this space, as hopefully it will be back!
What the press said:
Ten Dates will have you laughing one minute and crying the next... Dunne's performance is remarkable... Perhaps the most compelling solo performance at this year's festival (Edinburgh Fringe 2010)
Three Weeks
A simple character study, brillianty done.... Mary is endlessly watchable: at once vulnerable and frightening, foul mouthed, and at times extremely funny
The List
Wonderfully cast.... grim but witty, with a keen psychological insight.... Dunne skillfully draws you into Mary's frustrated perspective.
The Scotsman
Caoilfhionn Dunne is utterly convincing: there is not one false note in the play or production.
British Theatre Review.
10 DATES WITH MAD MARY
Mary McArdle is the best fighter in Drogheda, a title that earned her the moniker 'Mad Mary' when she was 15. But now she's 25 and just out of prison. Back home, everything has changed: all the old gang have grown up, and the only thing Mary has to look forward to is being bridesmaid at ther best friend's wedding. But even this comes at a price - she has to find a date for the big day, and finding a date in a town where everyone knows your name is not gonna be easy.
