Cupid Wore Skirts is from the pen of Ireland's favourite comedy playwright, Sam Cree. In this potpourri of Ulster characters we visit the home of antique dealer, Andrew Coulter, a widower who lives with his elderly father and teenage son, Brian. His married daughter, Daphne, comes in each day to take care of the men and ensure they are coping. When Daphne becomes pregnant her visits will have to be controlled and she fears for her male relatives ability to cope.

Andrew's sister in law, the formidable spinster Aunt Harriet, is convinced they will not be able to manage and during a bout of banter with Andrew she makes a wager that he couldn't get a new wife within a week. Andrew advertises for a wife in the forlorn hope that he will win the bet and obtain a solution to his problems.

The fun really starts when we meet an array of very different suitors ranging from a ‘sexy' pop wannabe through to a ‘conservative' demure homemade wine connoisseur to a career husband hunter with a family in tow.

The mayhem is heightened when all three accept Andrew's ‘proposal' and only a ‘clever device' worthy of a DUP negotiator can get the hapless Andrew off the hook. As usual with Sam Cree comedies, peace is restored and the final solution brings harmony and love to the Coulter household once again.

Belvoir Players have toured the Province every summer for over 10 years bringing these Ulster comedies to new and old audiences. Past masters of Sam Cree's work know they always attract capacity audiences in venues large or small. Early booking is recommended as often the "SOLD OUT" notices appear and disappointment results from being unable to gain admission.
