Kilrush Drama Group
Autumn Productions – The Tailor and Ansty
The Autumn Production The Tailor and Ansty by Eric Crosse will be staged in Ballyroebuck Hall from Tuesday the 16th to Saturday the 20th of October. Mick Byrne will be directing and PJ Arthur will be playing the role of The Tailor. Kilrush Drama Group welcome Mary Earle back to the Ballyroebuck Stage in the role of The Tailor’s wife.
The Tailor and Ansty were a well-respected local married couple, who lived in the townland of Garrynapeaka near Gougane Barra.
Anastasia (1872-1947) was from this valley and the Tailor Buckley ‘Tim’ (1863-1945) was born in Kilgarvan in Co. Kerry and married into Ansty’s homeplace. He was a tailor, a well-known and much respected story teller and a conversationalist who conversed with many famous Irish writers and Gaelic scholars when they visited him in Garrynapeaka.
‘The Tailor and Ansty’ was written, unknown to the couple, by a regular visitor to their house, a journalist, Eric Cross, detailing many of the Tailors stories and everyday happenings in their lives. The play is full of entertaining stories and is a brilliant depiction of the rural life at the time.
The Stuttering Lovers
In addition, a short comedy sketch The Stuttering Lovers will be performed by Maurice Ruth, Kay Cahill, Seamus Burnell and Mairead Kinsella.
