Irish comedy opens at Shawnee

The Irish comedy "Da" will open March 11 and runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through March 20.

Set in Dublin in the 1960s, Hugh Leonard's award-winning 1978 play focuses on Charlie, a middle-aged writer who returns to his childhood home after his father's funeral only to find his father's ghost stubbornly unwilling to leave the house ... or his son's mind. As Charlie rustles through his father's belongings, he surrenders to memories - both hilarious and wrenching - and the complex life of his adoptive upbringing.The performance schedule is 2 p.m. March 11, 13, 18 and 20; and 8 p.m. March 12 and 19.For tickets or for more information, call the Shawnee Playhouse Box Office at 570-421-5093 or visit theshawneeplayhouse.com.
