Ballymoney prides itself on hosting the oldest Drama Festival in Ireland, which began in 1934 and has continued annually except for a break during WWII.
This was an opportunity to enjoy an evening out and support our local festival. We have choose Thursday 3rd March to see Clarence Players perform a play called " Brighton" , listed as uplifting,sparkling with wit and humour.
For pre show diner we went to Carmichaels, our old meeting venue. They are due to open as a bistro and we are the first to try out their new venue.
Brighton celebrates friendship, hope and the resilience of the human spirit and centres on the characters of Lily, an elderly Irish woman and Fulham supporter who has spent all her working life in England working in the Civil Service, and former actor Jack Dunhill, just turned sixty, who has recently suffered an accident paralysing him from the waist down. The pair meet in the Sisters of Calvary Nursing Home in which Dave, a young care assistant, works.
As well as taking second place at Ballymoney the Clarence players won the Lord Antrim Cup for Best Comedy and Dorothy Wiley lifted the Dalriada Cup for Best Actress. There were certificates for acting (Des Loughridge) and lighting.
