A new comedy play set in the Canary Islands is coming to the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge.

The aptly-titled Canaries is the latest stage play from Newbridge Drama Group.

After a two year delay in the departure lounge at the airport, this hilarious play is finally all set for take off.

The play features a collection of colourful characters, from a couple who are not shy about sharing their 'holiday' with anyone willing, to a couple of singletons who are not who they seem.

Throw in a young couple on holiday with a parent, an ageing Contessa who is determined to get back to Madrid, a Spanish waiter with more than tending bar on his mind, and a couple of Germans who are having a few problems of their own!placeholder image
