3 One Act Plays: The Bear, The Last Post and Ribbons taking place in The Killarney Avenue on the 17th, 18th and 19th of February 2016 @ 8pm each Night.

Romance, intrigue, loyalty, challenges and opportunities at Killarney Avenue Hotel!

Dóchas Drama Group returns to Killarney Avenue Hotel on February 17^th, 18^th and 19^th when three one-act plays will be presented at 8pm nightly.

“The Bear” by Anton Chekhov is a hilarious comedy. We meet the grieving widow Elena (played by Siobhan McAuliffe), the opinionated, egotistical Gregory (played by Hugh Jordan) and the faithful manservant, Luka (played by Don Rohan) who is confused by the behaviour of both! What transpires in Elena’s drawing on a sunny afternoon is a surprise to all!

In “Last Post” by Jean McConnell Felicity (played by Mabel Counihan) is amazed when she receives a letter she was not expecting. A visit from the young, attractive Mary O’Reilly (played by Liz Sherry) brings news which challenges her patience and dignity. Who has the last laugh?????

“Ribbons” is a play by promising young Irish playwright, Elaine Murphy which was produced at the Abbey Theatre in 2013 and received much praise as did her play “Little Gem” in recent years.  In “Ribbons” we meet Glenda (played by Patricia McSherry) who has invited Lewis (played by Daniel McCarthy) to her apartment in the hope of strengthening their relationship. Both have stories to tell which are revealed over a cup of tea!

Relationships, love lost and found, loyalty and deceit – all human life is there!

Surprises, amusement and entertainment – all guaranteed!

Three plays, three authors from three different countries, from three different periods all with themes and characters with whom we can all identify and recognise. Times change but people are always the same????

Dóchas members look forward to seeing you at Killarney Avenue Hotel on Wednesday, February 17^th, Thursday, February 18^th and Friday, February 19^th at 8pm nightly. And at the Carnegie Arts Centre in Kenmare on Saturday, February 20^th.
