IT WAS A GREAT ADVENTURE -THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME ON THE JOURNEY WITH US!
We now know the importance of “The Letter D, the secret of the “Third Window from the Right” and how “The Technophobe’s” mind works. We can begin to add to the over 200 words starting with “The Wonderful Letter Double U” and know the various messages in the many letters in the 11 plays staged in our “Series of Short Plays”.
The adventure which started in June 2018 and took us through many hours of reading, rehearsing and discussion has concluded. It was a wonderful journey and the four nights at Killarney Avenue Hotel last week were a fitting end to a very exciting time for Dóchas Drama. The weather predictions were not favourable but in spite of that, cast members and audiences arrived faithfully each night and the reaction has been very positive. It was so rewarding to see people leave with smiles on their faces.
We are grateful to our group members for their dedicated work, to our supporters who are the final, necessary dimension to a play and to the writers who entrusted us with their plays. A special mention for those who took part with us for the first time – thank you for adapting to the Dóchas “one for all and all for one” spirit. You have given light to the future!
Once again, we are indebted to the Management and Staff of Killarney Avenue whose support and kindness is overwhelming.
Now time to recharge the batteries – have a good rest and see you all soon.
