A Word In Your Ear: Episode 3
Locally-based Drama Group members were invited to put together and develop short, fifteen minute plays which would be workshopped over a number of weeks under the mentorship of David Butler. The weekly Zoom sessions began with a series of three 2 hour talks on structure, characterisation, and dramatic dialogue.
We then had eight weeks during which we workshopped the plays so that each one got a minimum of three workshopping sessions. Unfortunately the Covid situation did not allow for live performances or live rehearsed readings of the plays as planned. Instead, each group was invited in to Dunamaise Arts Centre to record their play, to be aired as a podcast via Dunamaise on Air.
First on the bill is a comedy of manners set in an ordinary house somewhere in Ireland.
"Rita, Sue and Dad Too"

The second play is an historical piece, the action takes place over a four-month period from December 1920 through to March 1921 in the British Army Internment Camp for IRA suspects in Ballykinlar, County Down.
