Island Theatre Ballinamore
‘The last Prime Minister of Ireland’ January 21st 8pm.
Following on from its success with The First Protestant, Splódar Theatre Company, Leitrim brings another fantastic new play to the stage! Tension and comedy coalesce in equal measure in this gripping historical psychological drama. A true story of conflict, love, betrayal and redemption emerges when Lloyd George is confronted by his daughter on the morning of his wife’s funeral in January 1941 about his past political and personal behaviour.
