A play called ‘Dear Frankie’ is on in Corpus Christi Primary School tonight at 8pm.
The story is about a lady named Frankie Byrne, who was the queen of the airwaves for over 20 years solving everyone’s problems on her radio eireann programme.
She was good at solving problems, she spoke the truth and she gave people hope with her good and no-nonsense practical advice.
But she could not manage to solve her own problems and that led to sadness and loss.
Nonetheless, Frankie never lost her sense of humour and she finally conquered her demons to enjoy her last years of life.
‘Dear Frankie’ gets you thinking and it’ll have people from Cosgrove to Delmege talking about it for a long time.
DEAR FRANKIE - REVIEW/COMMENTARY by NADIA GLASHEEN
ReplyDeleteI would watch this play all over again.
The setting on stage for 'Dear Frankie' was very well put together: it looked so real, it was a pure office look.
The play got a great turnout, the music was welcome, the lighting amazing and the cast and crew did a great job.
The play is not only funny but it gives you hope and the advice that Frankie told her callers was smart.
To me personally Frankie's advice that, "The only person you can help is yourself" stuck with me. I couldn't get the quote out of my head because it's true.
