St Patricks Drama Group Westport, a non-profit organisation founded in 1964, are coming to Galway next week with their newest production Widows Paradise. This three-act comedy, written by Sam Cree, is one of the most entertaining plays ever staged by the group and will transport the audience to nostalgic moments of the 60s and will be staged at the Town Hall on Thursday June 2.

St Patrick’s Drama Group Westport are back with the season of spring in their step and a brand new production. Widows Paradise is a three act comedy written by Sam Cree and it promises to be one of the funniest plays the group have staged in years. The play will take to the stage in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, on Friday May 13 2011 at 8pm sharp, with tickets costing from €12 to €15.

St Patrick’s Drama Group will stage Tom Coffey’s Them in Scoil Padraig National Scoil, Altamount Street, Westport from Tuesday January 6 to Saturday January 10. This is a powerful production and certainly, an emotive one. This unique play demonstrates a sharp contrast between comedy and tragedy within its three acts. Them was first produced in 1963. It is set in 1960s Ireland, in a time when those with intellectual disabilities were seldom accepted as special people. Like the character of Johnsie in Tom Coffey’s play, who was an embarrassment and almost a nuisance to some, and simply misunderstood by others, these special people were not to be seen or spoken about.

This light-hearted, reminiscent play Makem and Clancy are Coming tells the story of two middle-aged brothers living in a small sea-side village in Ireland in the 1970’s.  Like most siblings their characters couldn’t be more different – Peter McCormack (played by Tony Varley) oozes sensitivity with a poetic approach to life whilst Michael, his brother (played by Liam MacNamara) prefers to use his quick wit with the bluntness of a sledgehammer!
