St. John’s Church in Knockainey is a beautifully restored 19th-century church in County Limerick. With its stunning original stained glass windows and wooden pews, it reflects the charm of its historical roots. Deconsecrated by the Church of Ireland in 1999, the church has been lovingly restored by the Knockainey Historical & Conservation Society since 2007. Today, it serves as a versatile venue for concerts, weddings, and community events, seating 150 people and featuring excellent acoustics.

Sugar by Michael Patric

Location: St. John's Church Knockainey Co Limerick V35 HA89.
Sugar - Danyl Sweetman describes his last days as an Irish Sugar employee. As much as he tries to stay on topic, he can't help veering off towards the "craic" & taking us on a journey of hilarious shenanigans. "You must have the craic - I don't trust any fella who can't have d'aul craic".
It's 2006 & Danyl is finding the going tough, his marriage is falling apart, his job is in jeopardy and then there's a family bereavement. Rather than letting it all defeat him though Danyl decides to laugh his way through it. Contrary to the stereotypical Irish male who finds it difficult to talk about his problems, Danyl will tell it all to anyone, anywhere, anytime. His fear, his grief, his family & even his sex life. He has a deep love & respect for his work colleagues, they have taught him the value of laughing at the serious stuff. He will tell us with pride how they fought against the company to win a fair redundancy settlement in the labour court. Indeed this fight mirrors his own personal fight with tragedy & loss. "If you can keep smiling at all - you have hope".
From the same team who brought you "Sean Moylan An Irish Revolutionary", Sugar is written & performed by Michael Patric (An Cailin Ciuin, Smother, Frontier) & directed by Geoff Gould. A comedy with a big heart, set in Mallow Sugar Factory prior to it's closure
