The Crokey Hill Club presents the hilarious play 'It's The Real McCoy' this Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5 in the Dean Crowe Theatre in Athlone.

Ten years ago, ‘It’s The Real McCoy’ hit the stage for the first time and became a phenomenal success across Ireland, the UK and America. Set in rural Ireland in the cottage of Madge Molly it’s simply hilarious! With dozens of funny one-liners and numerous twists and turns, Madge has to contend with nosey neighbours, a gormless postman who wants to marry her only daughter, a priest with a tale of her past and a wayward husband who wants to meet her to explain why he vanished without trace almost 40 years ago!

Experience the confusion and the comedy as 'It's The Real McCoy' plays The Dean Crowe Theatre as part of its 10th anniversary tour of Ireland. Written and directed by Tommy Marren.

The play takes place this Friday, November 4 and Saturday,November 5 in the Dean Crowe Theatre at 8pm.

Tickets €23.50-€26.50 from the deancrowetheatre.com website.
