One Act Drama Festival season is underway with those in Cavan and Maudabawn just finished, and Mullagh and Carrigallen still to come. For those with an occasional interest in a night at a play as well as committed theatre-lovers, the prospect of a few nights of top drama in your local hall is an annual delight.
Chairman of Cavan One Act Drama Festival committee Peter Brady and John O'Reilly of the Maudabawn One Act Drama Festival committee explain why these festivals continue to survive decade after decade.
