A Widow’s Paradise comes to Citeaux Hall!
Ballyskenach Drama Group return to the stage of the Citeaux Hall (E53 AE02) in Ballyskenach on Thursday to Saturday, February 26 to 28, at 8pm each evening.
Since they reformed in 2007 the drama group have performed some of the Irish greats including, The Field, Sive and Big Maggie.
The cast has remained consistent for many years now and we welcome a couple of returning members while others have a well-earned break! However, this year is the turn of Sam Cree’s hilarious comedy – Widow’s Paradise. Over the past three decades, Ballyskenach Drama Group have welcomed thousands to the Citeaux Hall, never leaving the loyal crowds disappointed and this year will be no different!
They sincerely thank all those who travel from near and far to support them annually and to all their generous sponsors and patrons for their continued support, without all these efforts the production would not go ahead. After months of rehearsing they are ready for the stage!
Widows’ Paradise takes place in a ‘luxury’ caravan, with five ladies embarking on a strictly women-only holiday in the tranquil Donegal countryside. The holiday is thrown into disarray with a case of mistaken caravan identity and the arrival of no-nonsense, alpha-male Harry and four other men.
So what was supposed to be a scene of peace and restfulness turns into a riotous clash of the sexes, each with their own story to tell…Widows’ Paradise is action-packed and guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seat and in tears of laughter until the final curtain call.
The cast includes Betty Murphy as Ruby, Carmel Bergin as Sylvia, Orlaith Middleton as Vanessa, Sally Carney as Rachel, Mairead King as Lucy, Gerry McAulliffe as Erine, Paddy Delaney as Harry, Fergal Keeshan as Alan, John Doherty as Wilfred and Jim Bolger as John.
