The trilogy began with “Corner Boys,” then “Lucinda Sky,” and now John MacKenna has penned a third play set along The Barrow river – “The Mental.”

John, who also acts in the play, tells Mary he has been fascinated by the psychiatric facility in his home town since he was a child, and this is what inspired the play.

Director of “The Mental,” Angela Keogh was also in studio.

Have a listen to their chat, “On the Fringe..”
