62ND NEWRY DRAMA FESTIVAL 20 – 29 MARCH 2014.

In association with the Quays Newry.


NEWRY TOWN HALL NIGHTLY AT 8.00 PM.

 

Newry Drama Festival Committee met recently in the Canal Court Hotel to select
the Plays which will comprise the 2014 Festival. Maureen Grant told the Reporter
that it had been a long and exciting  meeting due to the fact that the committee
received sixteen entries for the nine-night Festival  –  many of them from the
“creme de la creme”of Amateur Drama Societies from North and South of the
Border.

Chairman, Gerry McNulty, expressed his delight at the number of entries received
and the heavy emphasis on Comedy.

After lengthy deliberations, it was agreed to extend the Festival to ten nights
to facilitate one more Drama Group.

Theatre – goers will note that the 2014 Programme is mainly comedy and should
provide many nights of fun and light entertainment.

Season ticket – holders will (this year) receive excellent value for money with
each night’s performance costing only £4 – Season tickets  £40 for ten nights.
