'Fair City' duo star in play bound for Nenagh

'Take Off your Cornflakes' is a beautiful drama written and starring Rose Henderson and Pat Nolan (best known from 'Fair City') and this show visits Nenagh Arts Centre on Saturday week, February 22nd.
Tom and Trish have celebrated their Silver Wedding Anniversary but what happens when he wakes up with a strange woman beside him and she tells him she’s his wife? Trish has to make a choice, which she does, armed only with humour, music and love.
Inspired by Rose’s dad, Jack, who had Alzheimer’s and couldn’t remember he had cancer, Take Off Your Cornflakes is an honest, funny and poignant look at the impact of Alzheimer’s. You will laugh, you may cry, but you will find a tender story of the true meaning of love.
“He taught us about staying in the present, because that’s where he lived,” says Rose. “We had to learn to never ask a question that didn’t have the answer in the room.  His intelligence made life a crossword puzzle to be solved.  I believe humour is the only way to survive if this topic visits you.”
“Henderson and Nolan have such natural chemistry that, like Trish, we are smiling through tears for much of the show. An acutely observed piece inspired by Henderson’s family experience, this has an authentic dignity which affirms that love and good humour can coexist with heartbreak.” - Fiona Charleton – Sunday Times 
“Rose Henderson as Trish and Pat Nolan as Tommy give very moving performances as a couple clinging to love and affection despite the impossible situation.” - Michael Moffatt – Irish Mail on Sunday

'Take Off your Cornflakes' will be at Nenagh Arts Centre on Saturday, February 22nd. Tickets are available at the Box Office, on 067 34400 or online at www.nenagharts.com
