Get ready to laugh with three short plays – presented under the banner of “A Night of Comedy” – at Stirling Theatre this February.

• Written and directed by Peter Flanigan, The Surprise Party features six family members who span four generations, all living in the same house. The younger members plan a surprise party for Ray’s 90th birthday… despite the fact he doesn’t want a party!
• The Local, written and directed by Siobhan Wright, is a black comedy set in a small Dublin pub full of regulars who drink there every night. One night, a stranger enters and the regulars discover he has more in common with them than they realise…
• Written by Seán O'Casey, The End of the Beginning is directed by Joe Teakle and looks at the lives of two bumbling Irish farmhands who try to complete housework – with various degrees of difficulty.

“A Night of Comedy” plays at 7.30pm February 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17 with a 2pm matinee February 11. Tickets are $22, $20 concession – book at trybooking.com/CKSVU.
