After the highly successful and very moving production in Nov 2016 of HOME, written by Michael Gibbons and directed by Brían MacSuibhne. Home Productions present to you "Heir to the Barony". It has been 10 years since this very successful comedy written by local man Michael Gibbons has been seen in Erris. This is an adaption of that play, bringing alive the characters we meet every day. Characters who worry about cattle and property and heirs and farms and fears of who is inevitably going to be left the land in a will. Set in 1950's Belmullet, it centers around a father desperately and hilariously trying to ensure there is an heir to the land he has tirelessly slaved at. With two sons having very little interest in settling down, he takes matters upon himself to sort out his dilemma. All of HOME productions plays are for charity. Our cast and crew give their time and effort for the benefit of our community. The proceeds of this production go to Aras Inis Gluaire, IWA, Belmullet and Mindspace Mayo is a free and confidential support service for young people's mental health and wellbeing Áras Inis Gluaire Friday 8th, Saturday 9th, Sunday 10th, Friday 15th & Saturday 16th February @ 8pm Tickets €10 available at Áras Inis Gluaire and Brogans Eurospar
