produced by Three in One Theatre Company
Cork writer BG McCarthy’s The Whip Hand directed by June McCarthy
@ the Cork Arts Theatre
19th to 29th November (tickets €15/€12 and two for the price of one Wed 19, Mon 24, Tues 25, Wed 26).
Featuring some of Cork’s most well known actors, this fine production from one of Cork’s foremost writers will have them rolling in the aisles with laughter.
The comedy revolves around Mrs Fogarty, a scheming country woman who tries to force her son into an arranged marriage with a wealthy landowners daughter. Will she succeed in getting her way once again or will the combined forces of her weak older son, the girl he loves, his rascal of an uncle and the chronic medical student who is his younger brother thwart her this time round?
This satire mocks Ireland’s national pastime of society’s habit of trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes to get one over the other. The Whip Hand is a skilful send up of times not long gone where a wily lady uses the assets at her disposal to aggrandise her property and her future; riding roughshod over the lives of those closest to her.
