Moyne College Presents The Gate

Long-suffering Auntie Rita runsThe Gate, a beloved pub in Ballina. She’s survived more than her fair share of storms: a parade of unwanted suitors, a pair of lazy nephews, and a lifetime without a moment’s peace, to name but a few. But just when Rita thinks she’s seen it all, local TD Gordon O’Driscoll announces thatThe Gate will be flattened within a fortnight to make way for a new motorway connecting Ballina to Dublin. Suddenly, the pints stop flowing, and the panic starts pouring.

Her hapless nephews, Dara and Cormac, musicians with more dreams than sense, rally the locals in a last-ditch fight to save the pub, led by reformed drunk Tim Foyle, who chains himself to the adjacent gate.

Hope arrives in the form of Buzz Brady, a smooth-talking American who might sweep Rita off her feet… or off her guard.
In a storm of pints, plots, and pandemonium, Ballina erupts into a whirlwind of music, mischief, and mayhem.... Oh and the pub is full of mice.
