Clonmel Junction Festival



Just seen "Fred and Alice" tonight at Moran's pub, it's  a must see

A celebration of individuality.

It’s not easy to get by in this crazy old world. But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are 2 tennis rackets, a freezer full of ready meals and an immature coping strategy.


Fred and Alice first met in the home. It wasn’t really a home but Fred always called it a home because that was where he lived, and if you are not living at home then where are you? It was love at first sight for Alice. She was crying because she had spilt her milk she was lying on the floor something she now realises was an incorrect response to the situation .Alice  will always remember Fred's first words to her "GET UP" and he didn't speak to her again for years. Eventually Fred got used to her and it was love at first sight for him too.

From their days in care, to independent living, Fred and Alice negotiate the perils and pitfalls of home cooking, responsible pet care and boiler maintenance.

With the support of one another, we see the characters rise above the stigmas of mental disability and emerge from the pitfalls of despair, hand in hand and head lining Wembley.

 A blistering head wreck played at a hilarious pace!
