Room for Two comes to the Civic Theatre

KNOWN for her roles in Glenroe and Fair City, actress Geraldine Plunkett is currently performing in a brand new, heart-warming drama called Room for Two, which has taken to the stage of the Civic Theatre in Tallaght.

The veteran actress has been joined by Emma Willis (The Young Offenders, Darkness on the Edge of Town) in this new production from the writer of Weighing In and Worth, Ger Gallagher.

The story centres round Dorothy (Plunkett), a long-term patient in a psychiatric hospital who is horrified when she is forced to share her private room with Carla – a young woman moved from the high security wing.

Carla’s carefree attitude is in stark contrast to Dorothy’s uptight, regimented ways and sparks fly as both women clash over just about everything.

As the months progress, an unexpected friendship builds as Dorothy, introduces Carla to the world of literature and Carla teaches Dorothy a more important lesson – how to laugh again.

Presented by Dolmen Productions, Room for Two will run at the Civic Theatre in Tallaght from April 18 to 27 at 8.15pm each night.

Tickets for the play, which will be staged in the Tallaght theatre’s Loose End Studio, cost €16 and €14 with concession.

A €25 meal deal, ticket and two courses, are also available.
