BALLYHEIGUE NOTES - 20th October 2015
'SIVE' STAGING A GREAT SUCCESS: For historical accuracy it should be
recorded that 'Sive' was played on the stage in Doyle's Hall many, many
years ago.
Last weekend's staging by the Ballyheigue Drama Group, under the direction
of Fr. Tom Leane, drew capacity crowds from far and near to the Community
Centre.
The characterization of the personae of the play by the cast of local
actors and actresses was admired and applauded by all present in the Hall
which was transformed into a theatre for the occasion.
The old-time stage props were manufactured and assembled by the local Men's
Shed Group, contributed to the exposition of the thought processes of the
play's inner story. Great credit is due to all parish groups that
co-operated so that all parts of the production synchronized so perfectly,
resulting in a revival that was a pleasure to behold.
As the final showing of ‘SIVE’ is marked down for this Saturday night, 24th
October, it is the last opportunity you will possess to enjoy this
excellent presentation of John B's first remarkable play. Regret is an
opportunity missed!
