A fast-paced farce packed with secret lovers, jealous spouses, and spectacular misunderstandings.
When Gráinne plans a discreet night with an ex-flame turned TV celebrity, she ropes in her new friend Niamh as cover — but nothing goes to plan.
Add a furious husband with a shillelagh, a jilted motel manageress, and a delightfully senile night watchman, and the result is rapid-fire Irish farce brimming with misunderstandings, close shaves, and gloriously escalating confusion.
Footlights Theatre Group is proud to launch our 2026 season with a brand‑new production. Our Adult Players are returning to the CRAIC Theatre stage with another classic Irish farce.
Following the success of Brian Friel's 'The Communication Cord', we’re delighted to present 'The Patrick Pearse Motel' by Hugh Leonard. A sharp, fast‑paced comedy brought to life by some of the finest actors and performers Dungannon has to offer.
This amateur production of “The Patrick Pearse Motel” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd.
