12th June 8.00pm – Melody: the award winning play by Deirdre Kinahan

The award winning Lurig Drama Group will be performing Deirdre Kinahan’s ‘Melody’ right here at The Crescent Arts Centre!

Melody is a short story of lunch breaks and the possibility of romance and adventure at so simple a location as a bench in a city park. Mr Kane is a bachelor in his mid-forties. Kathleen is a widow. She is fastidious and cultured – he is clumsy, but gentle. Over a series of short scenes, they delicately advance their relationship. There are hints that something may be amiss, but only hints. And then catastrophe! The real world intrudes upon the idyll of their park bench – neither is quite who they seemed. The truth shatters their illusions of each other and, perhaps, the possibility of romance.

The Lurig Drama Group has scooped the awards of Best Director (Nuala Connolly) , Best Actress (Rosaleen Agnew) and Best Actor (Pauric Dunne) for their excellent performances, and will represent Northern Ireland in the Regional One-Act Drama Festival in Scotland in June.
Competition will be intense, there will be over 200 festivals in England, Scotland and Wales to determine Lurig Drama Group’s opposition in the final.

Tickets are only £5.00 and are selling fast for this event so book now to avoid disappointment!
