After a record-breaking run in 2017, Angela's Ashes, The Musical is back for a limited run this summer.

The musical is based on Frank McCourt's 1996 memoir, which is one of Limerick's best known stories.

In what is a stellar cast, comedic actor Norma Sheahan plays money-lender Mrs Finucane, who has some of the funniest lines from the script.

You'll know Norma from her appearances in the likes of Moone Boy, Bridget & Eamon and Can't Cope, Won't Cope.

The Cork native chats to Dermot and Dave about the adaptation and how it's so much more colourful than the original tale.

They wouldn't have me in it if there wasn't a bit of humour in it

Sheahan also drops the news of her very own stand-up show, the name of which had us all in knots!
