It has just been announced that a special matinee performance of For The Love Of Mrs Brown will take place in The O2 on Saturday December 14 for a very good cause.

Falling in the middle of that sold-out five-night run in same the venue, all proceeds will go to Mrs Brown's Christmas Dinners, set up by O'Carroll to feed families in need during the holidays, and Irish Autism Action, the country's leading charity in its field.
