The ITT Drama soc have been working their little cotton socks off since last November to bring 3 plays to the stage of the Loose End theatre upstairs in the Civic. And finally this Tuesday the 24th February, “The Game”, a classic forties piece and student written plays “Innocence of the Country” and “Requiem for the Lost” made their debut to rapturous applause.
The night opens with The Game. A play about Life versus Death and how they role their dice to decide the fates of the Poet and the Dancer.
This is then followed be The Innocence of The Country which is about farmers from Kerry, and the dirty minds of the city folk!
Requiem was performed two years ago by the society under the direction of fellow AV head (or CDM if you prefer) Sarah Lonsdale who also directed last year’s production “When Sorrows Come”. She enlisted Leigh Harbourne and yours truely, who were also in last year’s production, to once again don the roles of the dead guys friend and the dead guys girlfriend, and playing the part of the priest was Dammy, giving his first ever stage performance, but not his last!
If you haven’t gone to see it then you only have Friday and Saturday night left to do so. All three plays are really different so you’re bound to enjoy at least one! Tickets are 5 euro for a student, or 10 euro otherwise and performances start at 8:15.
