Fly Me To The Moon at Hedgerow Theatre Company

Northern Irish playwright Marie Jones brings her signature wit to a comedy set in Ireland, where the everyday collides with the absurd. Two cash-strapped community care workers, Francis and Loretta, are on their way to another routine visit to their patient, Davey McGee, a lonely man dedicated to his newspaper, horse races, and memories of Frank Sinatra. The day takes an unexpected turn for poor Davey, as Jones spins a sharply funny tale exploring what happens when ordinary people are tempted with extraordinary (if not slightly outrageous) opportunities.
