DRAMA GROUP NEWS
The Ballycogley Players drama group brought the curtain down on its season of competitive drama by sweeping the boards at the recent New Ross drama festival. Following a number of second place finishes at other qualifying festivals around the country the Billy Roche penned ‘Lay Me Down Softly’ took the spoils.
Director Breda Hayes was rewarded for her hard work by taking the best directors award. Cast member Chris Maddock received an nomination for a best actors award an award won by Paddy McGuire. Trish Boyce was rewarded by taking the best actress award in a supporting role and the group also received an award for the best set.
Though missing out by the narrowest of margins in its quest to qualify for the all-Ireland Final the group is pleased with its productions of the play and would like to sincerely thank playwright Billy Roche for trusting them to take his play on its maiden voyage on the festival circuit.
The cast and crew will perform the play for one last time on Friday, April 14, in the Dun Mhuire Theatre , Wexford at 8.30 p.m. Admission €10 at the door.
