8pm | Tickets €11
RTE All Ireland Drama Festival Fringe
Ireland’s first and Radio Éireann’s own agony aunt, Frankie Byrne, whose legendary programme with its ‘Dear Frankie’ letters of advice was broadcast from 1963 to 1985. For over 20 years, Ireland tuned in as Frankie Byrne solved the problems of a nation at lunchtime on Radio Éireann. Lovelorn teenagers, jealous husbands, concerned mammies all wrote in looking for answers to their problems.
This entertaining, yet poignant, play tracks the life of this glamorous and popular Irish figure as she considers the burning social issues of the time – all the while concealing deep sorrows in her own life.
