Event overview
Dolly and Mick
A story about a relationship in trouble but not yet past the point of rescue.
Can Mick save it or will Dolly’s shocking revelation be the final nail in the
coffin.
Dolly and Mick are arguing as they drive home from a gig. He’s a
widower from Limerick, she’s a divorcee from Arkansas. Their
relationship is clearly in trouble. But Dolly says, “It wasn’t always like
this.” And then they tell us how it actually was. From their hilarious
meeting at the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival, through their first
kiss, onto Dolly’s funny, unnerving meeting with Mick’s family and her
final shocking revelation that threatens to rent them asunder, unless
Mick can find a way to save the day.
Dolly and Mick is a funny, engaging story with a poignant denouement
and several well-known songs, performed live, that echo the love and
hope, disillusion and despair, passion and perseverance that colours
their relationship.
Songs: On the Road Again; Blanket on the Ground; Islands in the Stream
