Susie, it seems, has brought a salad to the regular Sunday brunch when everyone knew it was her day to bring a dessert, or so we hear from Rose, who hosted the brunch and is now in retreat in her bathroom, being sought out by husband Dennis who has a habit of missing the point. The brunch is about the only excitement left in Rose's life, unless driving to Cork with Dennis and the two kids to visit her mother could be counted as exciting. But then Ted appears to be making romantic overtures in his oblique way and that might be more exciting if Rose could work it all out and then live with the consequences.

It is all amiable and ultimately inconsequential Maeve Binchy material, offering, under Gerald Stembridge's adaptation and direction, a few heart-felt lunchtime laughs and not too much angst. Kathy Downes is Rose, and her performance is richly and entertainingly conversational in a sort of "listen, come here to me till I tell you" kind of way, in full command of her willing listeners.

Sinead Cuthbert and Nicola Hughes provide two different bathrooms and a hotel bedroom in their effective and economical settings on Bewley's second floor in Grafton Street. This one should prove a popular lunchtime break.

Runs until Saturday, July 22nd, 1.10pm daily. Booking 086-8784001
