Following their acclaimed sell out tour with Lucinda Sly, Mend & Makedo Theatre Co return with Corner Boys. The time is 1963. The place is an Irish village. For the two young women working in the local drapery shop the visit of John F Kennedy is all important but for the corner boys the concerns are different – women, money and darker doings fill their lives. John MacKenna’s play met with rave reviews when first staged ten years ago. This powerful play exposes the light and dark of Irish life in the sixties – the carnivals; the sodalities; the humour and the desperation. The play is intended for an over-16 audience. Warning: contains strong language.
