“Fruitcake” by Alice Barry
Under the guise of a cookery demonstration, Della Dolan (Mary McEvoy) shows us how to make ‘the perfect Fruitcake’. She divests provoking memories to give a fascinating account of her life on an Irish farm. She divulges a chequered past involving hardship, murder and intrigue – but most of all – great sacrifice, realisation and love.
Funny and poignant with accessible visuals, this play will make you laugh and cry and remind you why life is ultimately rewarding and exciting for all its ups and downs.
