“A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocer’s Assistant”<\/h2>\n
byTom Murphy<\/p>\n
A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocer\u2019s Assistant is one of Tom Murphy\u2019s earlier plays. Set in a rural town in Ireland in the Spring of 1958, it was first produced by the Abbey Theatre on the 11th of November 1969.<\/p>\n The play tells the story of John Joe Moran, the shopkeeper\u2019s assistant, as he wrestles with his personal dilemmas. Should he emigrate to England or America, like so many of his contemporaries and friends? Should he stay in his job as a grocer\u2019s assistant? Should he marry his very young girlfriend who works above in the bank? We follow John Joe through what turns out to be\u00a0A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocer\u2019s Assistant.<\/p>\n The play can be seen as a metaphor for the Ireland of the late Fifties while still speaking to us in the 21st Century. It deals with the perennial Irish themes of unemployment, emigration, church influence and small town life, themes that resonate through the ages.<\/p>\n Prices – \u20ac15\/\u20ac12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Friday 18th March, 8.15pm Lifford Players (Open) present “A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocer’s Assistant” byTom Murphy A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocer\u2019s Assistant is one of Tom Murphy\u2019s earlier plays.
