The Balor Arts Centre is the place to be on October 23rd and 24th as two One Act plays from the Butt Drama Circle take to the stage.
"The Ripple Effect" by Robert Scott is directed by Shaun Laverty.
There’s no doubt that Eva has murdered Timothy – she’s still holding the gun. But what drove her to kill? Was it fate, or the random collision of people and circumstances? Who, ultimately, is to blame?
Forget what you read, forget what you’ve heard, see the story rewind to its beginning. Only after you’ve seen it all - will you be able to judge.
The Ripple Effect is the Butt Drama Circle’s entry for The 2025 ADCI/DLI All Ireland One Act festival circuit.
A Dogs Life by Pamela Valentine
is directed by Bernie Thompson
Four dogs, one kennel — a tale of laughter, loyalty, and the bittersweet wait for a forever home.
Heart-warming, funny, and gently moving, A Dog’s Life is a light-hearted yet touching comedy that invites audiences into the world of four dogs sharing their kennel.
With plenty of wit and warmth, the play reveals the joy, loyalty, and mischief of man’s best friend — but also the quiet moments of longing, change and the uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring.
This charming production captures both the laughter and the lumps in the throat that come with loving our four-legged companions.
