SET presents “Life Shop Til You Drop”
Following four sell-out National tours from 2007 to 2009, Life Shop till you Drop! will start its fifth nationwide tour in April 2010 and comes to The Set Theatre this week.
Life Shop till you Drop! is the Sassy Girl’s Self-Help Solution.
Ailish McGovern is an unfulfilled Recruitment Consultant. For Ailish life would be perfect if she had a marriage proposal, a glamorous job and most importantly won Irish Tatler Woman of the Year. And so she selects 2009 as the year in which she will transform her life, by applying all of the instructions and mantras of self-help gurus.
Join Ailish, as she goes speed dating, feng shui’s her 100% mortgaged apartment and targets the perfect boyfriend, using the New York manual ‘Your soul mate is out there and missing you.’ Next on her hit list is taking over her boss’ job using ‘The work secrets only successful people know!’
However it seems that no self-help book that she has studied, teaches that pride comes before a fall. A cautionary tale, or more likely, a wickedly fun spoof on our love of going life shopping.
Life Shop till you Drop begun life in January 2007 in Bewleys Café Theatre Dublin. Thus far it has played four National Tours, over 100 performances and enjoyed successful tours to Abu Dhabi, the Cork
Midsummer Festival, Belfast’s Out to Lunch Festival, Dun Laoghaire’s Pavilion Theatre, The Belltable Arts Centre Limerick, The Helix DCU, Draoicht Blanchardstown, The Civic Theatre Tallaght, Galway, Navan, Roscommon, Wexford, Virginia, Carrick on Shannon, Drogheda, Dundalk, Longford, Tipperary, Birr, Greystones, Tinahely, Monaghan and Naas. It will tour Ireland on a fifth National Tour from April 2010.
