Has anyone out there – ever felt what its like to drown?

Because we all have a moment.
They’re the moments that break us.
They’re the moments that make us – put ourselves
back together again.

City Theatre Dublin & MCD present the World Premiere of Cecelia Aherns’ first play MRS WHIPPY for a limited run.

Emelda is forty-six years old, struggling to cope with life after her husband Charlie left her for a twenty-three year old dancer. Her five difficult sons worship their father and blame Emelda for his leaving. On top of everything else, she has to struggle with a new job at the local supermarket. For comfort she turns to her only true friend – ice-cream.

Sitting on her battered 25 year old sofa eating her way through another tub of “Ben and Jerrys’ , mourning all that she’s lost, she hears the gentle tinkling sound that sends children rushing outside. The soothing sounds of a Mr. Whippy van arrive at just the right time for Emelda, only now it’s not just the ice-cream that is her only true friend...

The best revenge is finding happiness again …
