Due to the fantastic response to the Ten-Minute Plays, Dochas Drama Group Killarney is inviting all Playwrights to submit their Ten- Minute Plays.
Budding writers are invited to submit a play no longer than ten minutes in duration with a maximum of four characters.
While the theme of each play is open Theme, it must have minimal staging and props.
Send your entry on a Word document to dochasdramakillarney@gmail.com.
The selected plays will be performed before Christmas.
“We are having our first meeting for this session on September 11 at 8pm, in the Anam Centre East Avenue Road,” said organiser Liz Ryan.
“So, if you feel you would like to act help with costumes or sets and other back stage work, why not join us? You won’t be sorry.”
KIFF Film Club to screen Gerry Adams documentary
The Kerry International Film Festival (KIFF) Film Club continues its monthly series next week with a screening of the award-winning documentary, Gerry Adams: A Ballymurphy Man.
The screening will take place on Wednesday, April 22, at 8:00pm at Cinema Killarney. Supported by Screen Ireland, the film club aims to bring modern Irish cinema to local audiences in a relaxed and social environment.
Directed by Trisha Ziff and winner of the Best International Documentary award at the 2025 Galway Film Fleadh, the film offers an intimate and uncensored portrait of the former Sinn Féin leader. Filmed over five years, it traces his journey from a teenage activist in Belfast to a key architect of the Good Friday Agreement, featuring previously unseen archival footage and personal reflections.
