Eilish O'Carroll says Mrs Brown's Boys is 'exactly in the Shakespearian tradition'

Eilish O’Carroll tells Ellie O'Byrne about her role in new musical comedy Elvis is my Daddy,  why she thinks Mrs Brown's Boys has made her brother a modern Shakespeare, and her life post-marriage equality referendum

“I never thought I’d hear the day when Brendan would be equated with Shakespeare but it’s been said many’s the time. And it’s true.”

Eilish O’Carroll, the actress best known for her role as Winnie McGoogan in Mrs Brown’s Boys, isn’t just sticking up for her brother and the show’s creator, Brendan O’Carroll.
