Meet the McCormick Players and experience one of Ireland's last travelling theatres before it falls victim to the TV epidemic.

The McCormick Family find themselves in a hinterland as they compete with Bingo, showbands and TV. Thanks to Terence McDonald we can enjoy their variety show, see behind the scenes and hear their stories. Puppetry, melodrama, songs and sketches will keep you entertained between the family's moving reflections on this vanishing tradition. The film was reportedly pulled from the RTÉ schedule as the Apollo crash put Burt's song ‘You'll Never Reach the Moon' in a new light.
