‘Class’ Glenamaddy Players have eyes set on All-Ireland finals

Glenamaddy Players have qualified for the All-Ireland Confined Drama Finals in Claremorris.

The group will perform ‘Class’ by Iseult Golden and David Horan on Saturday, May 3rd. This date was drawn at the All-Ireland draw, which was held on Sunday, April 6th in Claremorris with all nine finalists in attendance.

The finals will take place from April 25th to May 3rd with the awards ceremony taking place on Sunday, May 4th.

To reach the finals for any group is a massive achievement and it gets more difficult each year.

Throughout the festival circuit, director, cast and crew have been worthily awarded for all aspects of the ‘Class’ presentation. The cast members have received several awards with many nominations. The cast is as follows: Donna/Kaylie (Tina Ward) Brian/Jayden (Patrick Flynn) and Ray Mc Cafferty (Cian Boyle).

The play is directed by Coman Keaveny, ably supported by an excellent technical and backstage crew.

A parent-teacher meeting goes very wrong in Class - a new play about learning difficulties: in school, in life, wherever. Brian and Donna’s son is nine-years-old, and he’s struggling. That’s what his teacher says. The teacher says he should see a psychologist, but Brian and Donna – recently separated – never liked school, never liked teachers. So are they going to trust this one? And should they?

As well as deriving such immense satisfaction from being present at such a performance, attendance will boost considerably the morale of the cast, director and everyone else involved as they set their sights on the mecca of amateur drama in Ireland, the All-Ireland Confined Finals.

If you have not already seen this production it will be performed at the Glenamaddy Town Hall Theatre on Friday, April 18th, Monday, April 21st and Thursday, May 1st at 8 p.m..

This is a play not to be missed, please come out and support the local group.
