The Acorn Players proudly present Loophole — a hilarious comedy in three acts.

Written by John McManus, this play explores modern themes with sharp wit and drama. At its center are two miserable farmers, Paidi and Cass. On the surface, they appear to be the closest of friends — but only time will tell.

When Paidi learns he has only six months to live, he makes the decision to leave his land to Cass. However, his plans quickly unravel with the arrival of his troublesome brother, Rooster, and Kasia, a mysterious lady from Poland. Hopefully the local solicitor, Miss Murphy, will sort things out — with the help of two nosy neighbours, Mairead and Molly.

The Acorn Players

The Acorn Players are a small theatre group based in Mohill, Co. Leitrim. For over six years they have brought a wide range of productions to life, delighting audiences with performances that span comedy, drama, and everything in between.

Their passion for theatre extends to nurturing young talent through a youth division, The Junior Acorns, who recently staged two short plays.

The Leitrim troupe have performed in theatres across Ireland, including Galway, Athlone, Mullingar, Sligo, Donegal, Dublin, and more recently in Luton, England, as well as Cavan and Fermanagh.
