The Misty Moon Film Society is proud to announce “A Day In The Lives Of Frankie Abbott” – a comedy by David Barry.

What happens when a fantasist with a fading memory recalls events from years ago ?

Frankie Abbott, now in a care home, is helped by Marion, one of his carers, to remember.

The fun starts as the mother-smothered, big talking buffoon reverts to a past littered with guns, girls and gangsters.

A comedy starring David Barry as Frankie Abbott & Linda Regan as Marion.
