Longford's Backstage Theatre Group present one of Ireland’s most loved comedy films

The Snapper takes a trip back to the '80s with a memorable comedy story

One of Ireland’s most loved comedy films at Backstage Theatre Group

Prepare to take a trip back to the ’80s with Longford's Backstage Theatre Group as they bring The Snapper – one of Ireland’s most loved and memorable comedy films – to the stage in what is certain to be a hilarious sell-out success.

Directed by Charlie McGuinness, The Snapper takes us on a side-splitting trip back to the ‘80s with the story of Sharon Rabbitte, a 20-year-old living with her parents who becomes pregnant after encountering a man she’d rather forget. 

She quickly becomes the talk of the town, and there is much discussion about who her father could be. That is until one unlikely candidate starts to come to the fore…

A guaranteed night of laughter – be sure to book your tickets now before they’re snapped up! 

Contains adult themes and strong language. Parental guidance is advised.

Tickets are €17/15 and available at https://backstage.ie/events/the-snapper/.
