    Dose anyone give a ****e. Has this year been any different...
    Or has the fact that they are still doing a lot old crap just a celebration of all that is wrong with the theatre?

    Whatever happens don't miss "Observe the sons of Ulster...."

    An incredible play!

    BTW there is a competition for amateur groups to put on the first four one acts again on 28th December and our group are in the melting pot. I would still love to be selected.

    Nearly got there as "Old Mahon" with the Gay Byrne radio show a few years ago.

    I agree though The Abbey is not my favourite venue.

    The first signs of madness..... when you start talking to yourself.

    Anyway, we will know on 18th May if we are on the Abbey stage or not.

    Strange how, with such a deep rooted history of amateur drama in this country, this section of Boards is so unpopulated :dunno:

    True, very true. I saw it years ago (in the Abbey, I think).

    Also, re: that competition, we're on the shortlist too. I say "we," I really mean - our glorious leader, who will pick the cast from her minions if she get's the job...

    (sigh...)

    oooh. Right.

    No, apparently the proposal is in for "Kathleen ni Houlihan." Sounds riveting

    I think there's a few winners though, isn't there?

    Hey, best of luck with it. I'm certainly not holding out much hope for a part in it if it goes on...

    There will be four one-acts. So there will be one winner for each play.

    Nope ;-(

    Dalkey won our section. I'm looking forward to seeing them do a play set in the West of Ireland on a fair day!

    Oh, must be west of ireland (or somewhere)!!!

    I've never heard that phrase before, but I think I managed to put it together.

    I've never been a politician, so I can't compare :p . But I know exactly what you mean....
