Same Old Moon

This play is the life of Brenda Barnes and her story as a young nine-year-old girl right through to her forties. As we accompany her through her life we witness many challenges she faces including having a short- tempered mother and a father who is his worst enemy. This insight to their family life is both absorbing and casual from start to finish.

‘a highly entertaining comedy, well played, staged and directed..it deserves to be a hit’- Tuam Herald
‘the outstanding quality of the piece is the innocent wit and comic response the author wrings fom the memories of a dutiful daughter’- Irish Press
