Oil and passion in Town Hall drama

Little Thing, Big Thing, the latest work by playwright, actor and activist Donal O’Kelly will be staged at the Town Hall Theatre on Saturday, April 5.

This two-hander opens in Nigeria, where a frightened child puts an old roll of film into the hands of Dublin-bound teacher Sister Martha. In Dublin, ex-con Larry, with a wounded backside, has to get out of the city to rob a convent. Meanwhile, Scarab Oil plans to unleash its new clean fuel of the future. The film roll Martha is carrying attracts the urgent interest of some very powerful and ambitious people.

Sorcha Fox and Donal O’Kelly play Martha and Larry, who take a high octane jump into the brutal world of international energy skullduggery and awaken passions they thought were long dead.

Little Thing, Big Thing, directed Jim Culleton is a co-production by Fishamble: The New Play Company and the Strollers Touring Network. Tickets are €16 /14 and available online from tht.ie, by phone at 091-569777 and at the Town Hall box office.
