A Comedic Irish Fable

Performances: Thurs, Fri, Sat 8 pm

“This production is the best of any of my plays
and the Cast is superb…I love it!” – Ray Bradbury
Starring Pat Harrington, “Falling Upward” relates the adventures of the regulars at Heeber Finn’s Irish pub in the village of Kilcock, County Kildare.
The boyos assist the victims of a traffic collision, stage an insurrection at the local Anglo-Irishman’s funeral, confront a flamboyant band of travelers arriving from Sicily (with whom there are more similarities than differences), field an entry in a sprinting competition, and generally enjoy the “mighty craic” (camaraderie) that a pub in Ireland facilitates.
The boyos are generally working-class fellows who defer to Finn, who has provided this haven for them. Their spiritual advisor is Father Leary, who occasionally stops in for a wee nip. Garrity as “Seanchai” ( historian), is tribal counselor for the boyos as well as the entire village of Kilcock..
