Three Short Comedies (2021) | Trailer

In late 2021, Druid returned to national touring with three short comedies by the great Irish playwright Seán O'Casey.
The company toured to Galway, Dublin, Kilkenny and Wexford with these classic rip-roaring one-act plays.
A Pound on Demand (1939) is the tale of Jerry and Sammy who badly need a quick injection of cash to continue their night on the town.
In Bedtime Story (1951), poor John Jo Mulligan learns the hard way that inviting members of the opposite sex to Miss Mossie's lodging house comes with serious consequences.
All hell breaks loose in The End of the Beginning (1937) when Darry Berrill and his wife Lizzie agree to swap their household roles - and that's before Darry's clumsy friend Barry arrives.
These short tales of misadventure were directed by Garry Hynes and performed by Druid ensemble members Aaron Monaghan, Rory Nolan and Marty Rea with Venetia Bowe, Liam Heslin and Sarah Morris.

Amazing, Is this a theatre show ?

Hi Sunaina, it was indeed. We produced Three Short Comedies by Seán O'Casey in late 2021 and it played Galway, Dublin, Wexford and Waterford.
