Huge interest and great crowds are the order of the 32nd annual Kerry Drama Festival week to date.
The event opened on Friday night at 8pm and the ceremonials were done by festival director Jerome Stack and his special guest and fellow Listowel man, Owen McMahon.
Comedy and Tragedy
Mixing comedy and tragedy throughout the eight nights – and often in the one production – is a fine balancing act conducted with the entertainment of the audiences in mind.
There are still four nights of drama to come with distinctly Irish and Kerry flavours.
Plays by Brian Friel, Martin McDonagh, Bryan McMahon and John B. Keane will fill the last four nights of the 2019 festival.
Presentation of Prizes
Shows nightly at 8pm. Admission: Adults €10; Booking Service on: 086 10 54 515.
