Ireland 2009

This record-breaking show returned to Dublin with the original cast that included Irish entertainment legend Adele King (“Twink”) as one of a trio of little old ladies who are facing the axe from their cleaning jobs. Eileen Colgan, Aine Ni Mhuiri and Steve Blount completed this fantastic cast.

The show broke box office records when it was first performed in Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh and continued its success in 2008 at the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin. On its first Irish outing in Spring 2006 in Limerick, Waterford and Dublin each of the seasons sold out. 

Dirty Dusting had two English, three Scottish and four Irish Tours within 18 months and has travelled to Australia before returning to Dublin in 2009.
