Second Presentation

Film of Irish Comedy: 'Nobody's Talking To Me' written by Tommy Marren.

A fast-paced comedy set in rural Ireland in the 1960s. Despite the fact that nobody is talking to anybody else, the play is chock full of hilarious one-liners and put-downs. The script is complete with a wake, a whiskey loving priest and a much-used hanky and a case of mistaken identity.
