Holy Matrimony. A One Act Comedy

In an effort to encourage candidates for priesthood Rome decides to revoke its law of celibacy and allow Catholic priests to marry.
However now that clergy had permission to do something that had been talked about for so long none of the present clergy made a move to take advantage of the situation. The local Bishop suggested to one of his curate's Fr Bill Molloy that he should set an example by going out and getting himself a wife knowing that such a suggestion would be looked on as an order.

Premiered by the Quarry Players in the One Act Play Drama Festival 1997
It came first place in the Limerick Contest, Second place in Doonbeg Co Clare and second place in the Shannon Airport Contest.
The Quarry Players then went on to perform the play in what could be termed as series of 'one night' stands in various pubs and hotels around Limerick City some of whom were Greenhills Hotel, Glentworth Hotel. Costello's, Riddlers, and the White House bars.
Another Amateur drama group performed the play to full houses for three nights at the Anglers Rest, Doonass, Limerick.
