Masquerade Drama Group 2017
The Arklow based drama group, Masquerade, opened their new stage drama on Tuesday in the Pipe Band Hall in Castlepark. This is the first time they have performed at this venue and have presented Bernard Farrell’s black comedy ‘I do not like thee Dr. Fell’ each night at 8pm. Written in 1979 this is the first play by the Irish playwright and is considered his best, it pokes fun at the concept of therapy groups and centres around a group therapy session involving six people. Tonight’s performance is the last chance to see Masquerade’s very entertaining production of this play. For reservations, call Masquerade on 086 3259780.
