DÓCHAS DRAMA PUTS THE SPOTLIGHT ON NEW WRITING.

Dóchas Drama Group’s request for 10 Minute Scripts resulted in the revelation of many new writers. The theme was “The Letter” and it is amazing how varied the interpretation of that theme was! Choosing an entertaining selection was a challenge but it was done  – now it is time for audiences to view the plays and decide for themselves.

If you are curious as to what is inside the “Third Window from the Right”, locked in the “Ungilded Cage” or behind the “Veneer”!  If you wonder if “Lost Time” can be recovered or want to  learn the contents of “The Missive”! If  you want to find out who has to “Bring Your A Game” or learn what “The Technophobe” is up to and why is “Ink on the Brink”? These questions will be answered by Dóchas Drama Group when you attend their “Series of Short Plays “ at Killarney Avenue Hotel. You will also hear the curious “Tick Tock” of time and learn the value of the letters W and D.

In just over two hours you will have ALL the answers and also enjoyed interval refreshments and maybe won a raffle prize!!!!

Scott Mullen who is based in Los Angeles, proud Killarney man, Brian Bowler,  the romantic German native, Claudia Grodotzki, the very talented Rebecca Fitzgerald from Firies and Hazel Joy from Beaufort and who you will know from Killarney Library have all written a short play that you can see, if you attend Dóchas Drama Group’s production at Killarney Avenue Hotel next week.

Sonia Elston, a native of Nottingham, London born Siobhán O’Flaherty,

Michael Nolan from Cork and published and prize-winning writers, Méabh de Brún, Mary McCarthy and Liz Ryan make up the 11 authors.

DÓCHAS DRAMA RETURNS WITH NEW PLAYS.

11 Short Plays, new writing and great variety!

Following an invite from Dóchas Drama Killarney to the general public, to submit 10 minute scripts, a series of short plays will be performed at the end of this month.The plays center around the theme 'The Letter ' . We were inundated with a great variety of well written scripts.

The initiative was designed to provide a platform for writers to showcase their work. Some have written scripts before, some have won writing awards and many have written for the first time.

The reading and selection process was most difficult but finally the selection was narrowed down to the eleven short plays you will see. They will take you on a journey of confusion, disillusion, optimism, pessimism, imagination and reality!

You will definitely be stimulated and never bored.

You may even be inspired to write something yourself.

A number of the writers will attend the performances, some of them will appear on stage and many of them you will know.
