Angela’s Ashes: The Musical at Cork Opera House brings some belly-laughs to Frank McCourt's tale, writes Marjorie Brennan.

The production is produced by Pat Moylan, directed by Thom Sutherland, with Music and Lyrics by Adam Howell.

ANGELA’S ASHES, the Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography by Frank McCourt, may not seem material for a musical.
