MRS. WHIPPY
by Cecelia Ahern
"Has anyone out there – ever felt what its like to drown?"
Directed by Michael Scott
Starring Wendi Peters Cilla from Coronation St.
City Theatre Dublin & MCD present the World Premiere of Cecelia Aherns’ first play MRS WHIPPY.
This moving, heart-warming, and funny piece focuses on Emelda O’Grady, a 46 year old woman dealing with five difficult sons, a split marriage and a new job.
The soothing sounds of a Mr. Whippy van arrive at just the right time for Emelda, only now it’s not just the ice-cream that is her only true friend...
Cecelia Ahern mixes laughter with tears in equal measure to create this humourous portrait of a woman finding her own place in the world.
