An extended evening for Lucy

This Sunday, January 26, Ramor Theatre will embark on a celebration of the life and works of Louise (Lucy) Arnold in a show that has sparked a great deal of interest. The show initially scheduled as a one off in the evening have pencilled in an extra matinee show due to high demand and early sell out.
In August 2017 Louise, originally from Virginia in Cavan, died unexpectedly. This Sunday one of Louise’s plays will be presented as part of a celebration of her creativity. The evening will commence with ‘Lucy’s Miscellany’.

Lucy’s Miscellany is a show of readings from Louise’s writings here in The Anglo-Celt, where she wrote a weekly diary entitled ‘Life with Lucy’, a whimsical and light-hearted look at life as she saw it.
This is followed by a production of ‘Birds of a Feather’ a play written by Louise. Directed by Niall Brewster this comedy gives an insight into the talent lost when Louise passed away.
In ‘Birds of a Feather’, Deirdre the street wise Irish girl, spreads her wings by seeking out a job as an air hostess with Blue Sky Airways, whilst Eva has fled her nest in Slovakia to better herself and become a glamorous air hostess and fly the world. The two ladies meet on their path in the fight for their spot as a crew member. Along the way, they encounter fun, fella’s and frolics.
In this production Deirdre is played by Vanessa Flood and Eva is played by Miriam Murphy. Louise worked in the Ramor Theatre, and was the stage manger on The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down. She also wrote plays staged by the Virginia Youth Theatre.
Celebrating the life and works of Louise (Lucy) Arnold is on Sunday, January 26 4pm or 8pm.
