This summer’s movie blockbusters feature alot of robots. And John Connor. But why watch 2 movies when you only need to watch one?

What now for No Drama?

It has been an amazing Year One for the group. We set out with ambitious goals for the year and exceeded them. Between the success of the plays and also of our improv night, we have set the foundations to grow further.
But a summer break is upon us. What to do during the break?
Some of the group have set up a summer writing group to work on writing plays for our next production. Its open season in that regard really.
Others are going to hire a boat and go sailing together. Is it illegal to sail a boat under the influence of alcohol?
For me though, I have some ideas. I’m hoping to put on some more Improv nights and who knows, maybe tour Ireland or Europe with it? OK may it is just an excuse for a few beers but who’s complaining….?
The group is still open for business though. The forum will still run on boards.ie and the group members will be active. I’m sure a picnic or two will be had, weather permitting.
No Drama Theatre Presents….

So a short while ago No Drama Theatre put on our first major production for a 3 night run. We sold out. Granted with a combined cast and crew of about 30 people, friends and family account for most but it still left many seats to be filled by those who have heard of us through boards.ie and the minimal advertising we did.
What a rush.
It went well. There was a great buzz in the venue, La Catedral during the week. With many people having never performed before, nerves were common but spirits were high. Between the directors, Barry O’Donovan and Brian Quinn, and the dedicated crew of volunteers, they put together a set and show that surpassed all our expectations.
That’s not to say there weren’t imperfections during the week, but it was nothing that couldn’t be handled or learnt from.
We had 2 pieces on. Our main piece, Night At The Invasion and supporting piece (which was 3 short plays), Tales From The Fairground
Some photos from the performance can be found here.
Can you spot yours truly in there?
