McDonagh’s play ‘The Beauty
Queen of Leenane’ transports the audience to Emerald Isle, creating the sounds
and tastes of Ireland. And what is an Irish home without some Kimberly biscuits
in the tin? First made by Jacobs in 1893, and the name reputedly inspired after
Rudyard Kipling’s novel “Kim”, the Kimberly is a confection which divides many.
The sweet consist of two small brown round biscuits that are soft with a mild ginger
flavouring, with a soft marshmallow filling between them, complete with a crust
of sugar granules.
While some say they
compare to cardboard in taste and texture, others would say they are the very
finest biscuits to be produced in the whole of Ireland.
To continue the debate (and to see an excellent dark comedy,
which really is about more than just biscuits) book your tickets for ‘The
Beauty Queen of Lennane’ at Sewell Barn Theatre 31 March-2 April & 6-9
April at 7:30 pm Matinee 9 April at 2:30 pm.
