THE youngest member of the audience at the opening of The Sunshine Boys in the Gate Theatre on Tuesday night was a very well behaved five year old. Paul O'Shea was there to see his grandfather, Milo, give a virtuoso performance in the hugely well received production.

The stars of the show, Milo O'Shea and David Kelly, who looked like they were enjoying themselves as much as the audience, received a very enthusiastic standing ovation at the curtain call.

It was very much a family affair David Kelly's wife Laurie Morton arrived with their daughter Miriam and son Dave Milo's son Colm was there with his wife Deirdre and son Paul, as well as Milo's glamorous wife Kitty Sullivan Eileen Colgan's four children Katy Gogarty, Clara Ben and Cathal Simpson turned up to applaud their mother, who is also in the cast despite what seems from the publicity, this is not a two man show.
