Good Mourning Mrs Brown
Following the phenomenal success and popularity of the TV comedy series Mrs Brown’s Boys on BBC One, Brendan O’Carroll returns to the stage to present Good Mourning Mrs Brown for a strictly limited series of UK dates.
Good Mourning Mrs Brown is the brainchild of writer, creator and star of the show Brendan O’Carroll (Mrs Brown in character) who first breathed life into widower Mrs Agnes Brown back in 1990 when Irish radio station RTE commissioned him to write a series of short stories on the character he had created. The series ran for three years with over 500 episodes and thus immortalising Agnes in Irish folklore.
Following this success, Brendan wrote a series of books based on the indomitable widow and her children; The Mammy, The Chisslers, The Granny and The Young Wan, which went on to become best sellers across the USA, China, Japan, Italy, France, Ireland and the UK.
Such was the interest that Hollywood beckoned Mrs Brown and a movie followed in which Hollywood icon Angelica Houston starred in and directed, simply entitled Agnes Brown, which remains a firm Christmas favourite on TV channels around the world.
O’Carroll is looking forward to going back to the UK stage; “People have really taken Mrs Brown to their hearts. I think she reminds them of their own Mammies….fierce and scary, but full of love”.
