Posting about the tour on the website: "Written by and starring Brendan O’Carroll as the beloved 'Mammy', the classic ‘Mrs. Brown Rides Again’ follows Agnes Brown and her family romp their way through what seems to be Mammy’s last days at home.

"After hearing a plot, by her children, to have her put into a home, Agnes decides to prove them wrong by displaying a new lease of life.

"However, this is not going to be as easy as it seems as along the way she must deal with a psychiatrist trying to put her in her place, her neighbours' wait for a heart bypass, and worst of all, a family secret that everyone seems to know except her."
