Funny Money

Funny Money
By Ray Cooney. Ballina Players. Players Theatre, Ballina. Directed by: Jackie Reidy and Mike Sheehan. April 1st to 10th, 2016

FUNNY Money (as the name suggests) is a funny show and this production had everything worthy of a great comedy; pace, timing, lots of laughs, sight gags and a solid set that withstood the continuous banging of doors!

Jackie Reidy and Mike Sheehan presented a polished production with the outstanding ensemble cast of Jamie Sheenhan, Peter Harding, Dylan Wheeler, Brian Alston, Sheena Felton, Dane Bodley, Brian Pamphilon and Trevor Stone. These hardworking performers combined beautifully in a script that presented untold challenger, with each one dealt in a manner akin to seasoned professionals. The highlight of the show was the exchange of 3 suitcases around the stage at precisely the same moment and no-one missed a beat.

As one has come to expect from Ballina, the technical support was of its usual high standard and the near capacity audience loved every minute of the play.

This production is just one more reason to visit Ballina Players, Regional Theatre at it’s best!
