The Real Mrs. Brown: The Authorised Biography Of Brendan O'Carroll - Plot & Excerpts
And, having read it, so did Gerry. But what did they know about theatre? (Gerry had only ever seen one play in his life.) The pair decided to enlist the help of Lee Dunne, who’d written the classic Dublin book Goodbye to the Hill, which had been turned into a play. And so the waiter and the milkman took off to see Dunne’s play performed in the Peacock Theatre, set under the main Dublin bus terminus. ‘When I went along to check out the play, I was a bit late arriving. The play had already started and I tried to sneak quietly into the auditorium. But I was captured by the usherette, a blonde lady who didn’t know me from Adam, who showed me in the direction of my seat and said, “Sit the feck there!” And so I did, thinking, “Jaysus, I wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of that one!”’ Brendan settled down to watch the play but, as the on-stage drama unfolded, his eyes suddenly opened as wide as the stage itself. The ‘usherette’ who had just given him a dressing down had made her way up onto the stage.
