Synopsis: | Twice Upon a Time is set in an Irish town in the mid seventies but it could be any town in Britain. The parents are trying hard to marry off their last remaining son, Jeremiah, but the reluctant son is scared of the female sex. His only friend is a little sow called 'Susie' who even goes to mass with him. The scheming mother arranges a marriage with a wealthy widow but it all goes wrong and, after many twists and turns, he ends up marrying his secret sweetheart. Act two is thirty years on with all the actors thirty years older and the now mid-fifties Jeremiah desperately trying to marry off his remaining son, but this wealthy, intelligent, womanising boy has no intentions of marrying until, eventually, at the end he gets his comeuppance in a surprise 'match.' The play humorously shows the different attitudes to religion, bad language and sex and how life has changed but does anything ever really change? | |||||
