Thurles Drama Group sweeps the boards with Rathmines Road
Thurles Drama Groups festival circuit adventure came to a close at the weekend and although they just lost out by the slimmest of margins on taking Rathmines Road to the All-Ireland Finals, they finished on an absolute high in Rathangan when their wonderful cast, crew and director swept the boards and came home laden down with awards.
The awards won on the night included:
Best Actor: Derek Doherty
Best Actress : Geraldine Delaney
Best Supporting Actor: Ken Murphy
Best Supporting Actress: Paula Drohan ( Sarah Feehan nominated)
Best Director: Margaret McCormack
Best Presentation, to include set, lighting, sound, costumes and stage management
Best Overall Production
Best Open Play
This embarrassment of riches was added to by nominations for Geraldine and Paula in The Tipperary Drama Festival in Holycross bringing a close to what has been a wonderful trek around the country meeting warm welcomes from festival committees and audiences alike.
There was a great appreciation for this challenging piece of theatre and the effort it took to bring it to the stage.
Hearty congratulations to Margaret McCormack (Director) and her cast and crew for all the awards won and the hard work put in for Thurles Drama Group.
