Fruitcake Tour

Want a good night (or afternoon) out? From Malin Head to Skibbereen, in theatres and care settings, Bealtaine is touring plays including Alice Barry’s ‘Fruitcake’, commissioned by Meath County Council 

A co-production with Noggin Theatre Company, ‘Fruitcake’ is a “funny and poignant play” starring Mary McEvoy. It’s about a woman with a history, divulging her secrets during a cookery demonstration. The process and ingredients trigger memories and decisions that changed the course of her life. Mary believes that everyone should continue to create: “As an actor and as a person, I don’t want to become invisible. I don’t expect to retire. Everyone can have a dream, no matter what age they are -because life is continually creative.”
