When Brendan Met Trudy

This Dublin comedy concerns Brendan, a studiously shy teacher, so immersed in film lore that almost every waking moment reminds him of something he has seen; and Trudy a bright, gregarious, free-willed girl (Flora Montgomery) who he meets in a pub. In spite of their polarities and disastrous first steps together, a powerful attraction draws them close.

This agreeable comedy is studded with in-jokes for film buffs, some of which are arcane except to the most dedicated. There are plenty of non-film related delights too. Under Kieron J Walsh's direction this is a sprightly ‘odd couple’ yarn brimming with sweet Irish charm.

Critic Reviews:

• " Brimming with sweet Irish charm. " – George Perry

• " This unusual romance works brilliantly thanks to a terrific turn from McDonald and a career-making one from Montgomery. " – Jo Berry

• " It will be remembered by true movie lovers a little better than it saccharine-coated competitors. " – Paul Salfen
