BIG TELLY PRESENTS
Puckoon
From
January to March 2009 Big Telly toured across Ireland with the World
Premiere of a new stage adaptation of Spike Milligan's hilarious comic
novel PUCKOON.
The critically-acclaimed show was devised
by the company based on an adaptation by Vincent Higgins, directed by
Zoë Seaton, and featured original music and songs by Paul Boyd.
Puckoon tells the hilarious story of what
happens to a rural community in Ireland when the Boundary Commission
decides that the Irish border will go straight through the middle of
their town. With the church separated from its own cemetery, man
detached from wife, and cheap beer available in one corner of the pub,
life in Puckoon will never be the same again.
Due to public demand further 2009 -
2010 Ireland and UK tour dates are now available. Contact Louise
Rossington at louise@big-telly.com or call 028 7083 2588.
