Splendid Comedy by Glen Theatre Drama Group Returns in New Year

The Glen Theatre Drama Group hugely successful Comedy is Sold Out for this Sunday, 8th Dec. 2024 but one of the brilliant Cast, John O’Sullivan, indicates that it will return at the Glen Theatre early in 2025.
Written by Ballydesmond writer, the late Seán Buckley, ‘Roger’s Final Farewell’ follows the Johnson household with matriarch Aggie and her two daughters; Hazel and Purdly. They are mourning the recent death of household patriarch Roger. However, his drinking and gambling debts are revealed, throwing the home into disarray. A collection of strange characters in and out of the house, including a confused Irish War of Independence veteran Grandfather, with a ‘strong patriotic devotion to Ireland’, only adds to the hilarious chaos.
