Last but not least Ted Wilkins, the undertaker, will be played by the well-known Garry McDouall who has appeared on stage in An Artist, Farmer and Scientist Walk into a Bar.
“Both Terry Brady, the Director and I are sure we have a great cast for this play” said Ros Moulton, Producer “and I know the audience will be in for a very fun time. Everyone will be able to relate to this dysfunctional family and our cast will really bring the characters to life.”
