Geraldine said, 'I had the pleasure of seeing A NIGHT WITH GEORGE, starring the wonderful Donna McGarry at the Felons' Club in West Belfast. It was a privilege to sit and listen to this mighty tale which covers such a colourful array of themes and characters. I laughed and was very moved by the story and Donna's telling of it. Bravo to Brassneck theatre company! I am proud to be their patron'.
