Bookworms Event date:2012-02-07

Skeletons leap from suburban closets in Bookworms, Bernard Farrell's hilarious and razor-sharp vision of a household savaged by the Celtic Tiger.

"... and Larry, let's try to show everybody that, recession or no recession, we are contented, confident and happy - and that this evening is going to be fun!"

This month's Book Club hostess Ann is struggling to stay calm, desperate to deliver the perfect evening of literary classics and late-night canapes. But when the all-female group invite their husbands to join the club, and a mysterious figure pays a visit from an upstairs room, everyone is forced to contend with a lot more than just Virginia Woolf.

Opinions are challenged, suspicions aroused and tempers flare as their daily lives unravel into a saga to rival even the most outrageous fiction.

Director Jim Culleton brings to life this hugely entertaining new play by the popular and celebrated playwright Bernard Farrell (I Do Not Like Thee Doctor Fell, Canaries, Lovers At Versailles) in an evening of wine and cheese, mystery and mayhem
Venue : Abbey Theatre
