World Premiere of Jimmy's Hall gets rave reviews from Carrick-on-Shannon audience

The stage adaptation of Jimmy's Hall received its world premiere in Carrick-on-Shannon last night and the online reviews have been very favourable.

The play, adapted from Ken Loach's critically acclaimed film tells the story of Leitrim man Jimmy Gralton, the only Irishman deported from his own country

It was an incredible show. Can't recommend it highly enough. Well done to all the cast and crew @AbbeyTheatre #JimmysHall https://t.co/Cdk6g5TEGE
