Presented by Calipo Theatre Company

Mary McArdle is the toughest fighter in town, a title that earned her the moniker 'Mad Mary' when she was 15. Now she's 25 and just out of prison.

Back home, everything has changed: all the old gang have grown up, and the only thing Mary has to look forward to is being bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.  But even this comes at a price –she has to find a date for the big day ... and preferably one who'll wear a suit that matches her dress.

Calipo Theatre Company invite you to join Mad Mary as she searches for a  'nice boy' among the geeks, freaks and misfits of small town Ireland, learning the hard way that sometimes being a lover is tougher than being a fighter.
