After a successful campaign on the amateur drama circuit during March with its production of ‘The Quiet Moment’ by Mike Finn, Skibbereen Theatre Society has qualified for the All-Ireland Confined Drama finals in Castleblaney, Co Monaghan, in mid-April.

The final weekend, they won both the West Cork Drama Festival in Rossmore and the North Cork Drama Festival in Charleville, again also picking up several individual awards for acting and production. They ended up with three wins, two seconds and two thirds.

In advance of the All-Ireland finals, they will be staging two more performances of ‘The Quiet Moment’ at Skibbereen Town Hall on dates to be confirmed – probably during the second week of April.
