Girls & Dolls

Lisa McGee Playwright




The group were invited to Queens Film Theatre in Belfast and treated to a production of Girls and Dolls by Lisa McGee. A superb play by Tinderbox Theatre Company. www.tinderbox.org .uk. To describe this emotional piece would be to run out of adjectives. Brilliant, superb, emotional, evocative, ......................... ad infinitum.


The play was performed by four actors who's skill made the play look effortless. Bernadette Brown, Mary Jordan, Sarah Lyle and Veronica Leer captured both the accents of Belfast and brought the characters to life.


The director Michael Duke added his expertise to mix which made for a memorable afternoon. Quickly running out of adjectives here .


I would recommend that if the opportunity presents itself do yourself a favour and go to this play.

Lisa very kindly spent some time with a few members of the group, signing our copies of the script and allowing me to take the photo above.

Thanks to all involved once again for a great Saturday afternoon.
