Did you see that play in the Tallaght theatre last night? Holy Jaysus I’d have had more fun watching paint dry. They were using all these aul country words and sure the accents on them, I could barely understand them half the time. Frank McGuinness it was, have ye ever heard such ponce and wonce in your whole life. Now the leading lady, she was very good I have to say, I haven’t a clue how she remembered all those lines. Even the costumes ugh she looked like she’d been dragged backwards through Blessington. I only went cause me pal was playing in it, only a small role sure she was only on stage for five minutes. Chattin to her after and I says to her “That was really… Brave of ye” Sure it was alright. She says to me "The whole community becomes a critic after these shows” but sure it was the community helped them build it so we’ll take our bricks back. Ah I’m only slagging God forgive me. [She blesses herself]
Into the future...
