By: James Miller Jan. 28, 2011
Jenny Eclair and Judith Holder's new comedy, "Grumpy Old Women," will open at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on Wednesday, February 2nd, before embarking on an Irish tour. This opening follows preview performances at the Moat Theatre in Naas from Wednesday, January 27th, to Saturday, January 30th.
Have you reached that certain age? Are you more likely to be shaking your rolling pin than your booty? Are you a little bit hot, a little bit hairy? Then join us for a live grump fest.
Three furious females take to the stage for an orgy of middle aged mayhem, 90 minutes of theatrical HRT with not a thong in sight. The three women on the edge, braving it out on this tour of a nation on the edge, all previously starred in the smash hit "Menopause the Musical".Adèle King, Flo McSweeney and Una Crawford O'Brien all brought the nation mirth and mayhem in "Menopause" and will do the same again now in the fabulously funny West End hit, specially re-written for Ireland in 2011.Scary enough on their own, together they are a force of nature. Treading the boards (and making them creak) across the country, they're coming to a theatre near you. So ‘phone your friends, even the ones who are getting on your nerves. Make a night of it; be honest, you've not really had a good laugh since Aine spilt the chemical jacks that time in Portmarnock.
Treat yourselves, after all, you know what they say - if you can't beat them, join them. Don't forget your bifocals and remember, we do not permit heckling, however, we do allow some tutting!Irish Performance dates:Tues 1 to Sat 19 February The Gaiety Theatre, Dublin 01 6771717Wed 27 to Sat 30 January The Moat Theatre, Naas 045 88 30 30
