Sparkies, Dreamers and Turns, all in one
three week run, ended the 10th anniversary year with a bang. Full
houses and standing ovations on nearly every night. Are You Being Served? has played to virtually full houses each night of its run. With a set, by Ross Michaels, that immediately evokes the memory of Grace Brothers, the play has delighted its audiences. A Few Good Men A large cast, headed by experienced members with a number of whom making their stage and Lamproom debut produced a pacy, dramatic performance, but not without the humour from the conflict of the characters. Well done to Phill Shepherd for directing this strong
production and to Alice Willerton who had the huge task of sorting out
the many costumes.
The Dresser by Ronald Harwood A successful week on stage with a great set and superb performances from all the cast. Sadly, the audiences who came were small in number, especially early in the week. If you missed it, you missed a real treat.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin MacDonagh completed a fantastic week. Directed by John Kelly.
One unsolicited audience member was prompted to write:
I came to see your play last night (Thursday)and was treated to an absolutely
brilliant production. Within one minute I was in Ireland and it felt as if I was
in the same room as the actors.All four of the actors gave everything for which
I thank them,their accents never dropped which in itself is hard enough. I
thought Ingrid Kellock was superb and Richard Caile's reading of the letter was
one of the best solo scenes I have ever seen in any theatre. Could you please
pass this letter on to the actors as I have to go out to buy some complan. Thanks
