(Matinee) Three Short Comedies by Druid Theatre

Druid presents three short comedies by Séan O’Casey at Siamsa Tíre.

‘Saint Correlliolanus come on and deliver us from utther desthruction!’ 

In spring 2025 Druid are hitting the road once more for an 11-venue national tour of Three Short Comedies by Seán O’Casey. Following their record-breaking 2024 tour of O’Casey’s The Shadow of a Gunman Druid return to Siamsa Tíre with these classic rip-roaring one-act plays by one of Ireland’s greatest playwrights. 

Set in a post office A Pound on Demand (1939) is the tale of Jerry and Sammy who badly need a quick injection of cash to continue their night on the town.

In Bedtime Story (1951) poor John Jo Mulligan learns the hard way that inviting members of the opposite sex to Miss Mossie’s lodging house comes with serious consequences. 

All hell breaks loose in The End of the Beginning (1937) when Darry Berrill and his wife Lizzie agree to swap their household roles – and that’s before Darry’s clumsy friend Barry arrives.
