The Loves of Cass McGuire (Fri, May 16)
8:00 PM-10:30 PM, Worcester Hibernian Cultural Centre, 19 Temple St, Worcester, MA
Written by Brian Friel, the Tony award winning author of Translations and Dancing at Lughnasa, this raucously funny yet poetically moving play is directed by Pilgrim Soul's founder and Artistic Director Matthew J. Carr, and features a troupe of local actors, led by veteran performer Ann Marie Shea in the title role. The play tells the story of Cass McGuire, who for most of her life has slaved as a barmaid on the edge of Skid Row, among deadbeats and washouts - people who live in the past. Friel's bawdy, vital, compassionate play deals with her return to Ireland and her genteel family's rejection of her. It follows her lonely struggle to rediscover the home she's dreamt of all her life and her eventual surrender to the dream world of Eden House, the rest home to which her family has committed her. Filled with colorful characters, it is a play of sentiment and wit, which according to the N. Y. Post exhibits "the rueful imagination of the true Irish poet." Ann Marie Shea, a familiar face to local audiences, performs the title role of Cass McGuire. Ms. Shea has appeared locally with Redfeather theater company (The Tempest, Richard III), and in many productions of Worcester Forum Theatre, EntrActors and New England Repertory Theatre. She has recently had the opportunity to work in several Boston area theaters, including Stoneham Theatre (A Prayer for Owen Meany, And Then There Were None), Boston Playwrights' Theatre (Red Elm), Devanaugh Theatre (By the Bog of Cats) and the Huntington Theatre, where she was an understudy for Well. She is professor emerita of Worcester State College, where she taught theatre for many years. Last spring at the Worcester Hibernian Cultural Centre, Pilgrim Soul Productions staged Hugh Leonards poignant play Love in the Title to critical acclaim and standing ovations. The theater company is currently planning to follow up its production of Cass McGuire with a November production of Jimmy Murphy's The Muesli Belt, a tragicomic tale of modern Dublin. To reserve tickets, call 508-523-3773 or 508-799-7775, or send email to jfrooney@charter.net or htfoley@charter.net . Tickets are also available at the door. Sponsored by: Pigrim Soul Productions. Cost: $15 (group discounts for groups of 25+); Worcester college students earn WOO points Through Saturday, May 17.
