NOBODY’S TALKING TO ME by Tommy Marren at The Everyman

This two-act comedy is a story about “happy couple” Mattie and Maggie Conway.

Set in 1968’s rural Ireland, it’s the eve of the 50th wedding anniversary of the couple, who haven’t spoken a single word to each other in 10 years. Disaster strikes when the local parish priest, Father O’Toole, decides to surprise them by renewing their marriage vows. All hell breaks loose and a rollercoaster ride follows.

The action is frantic and Mattie’s eccentric sister Minnie, who has lived in the house all her life, is feeling the pressure. With the Conways’ only daughter Josephine courting Andy Walsh, who is described as “a sandwich short of a picnic”, the plot thickens by the minute.

The best amateur drama The Everyman has to offer.
