I
IT HAS proved such a hit with audiences in Rathmore that a drama based on the moving story of Patrick O’Connor will be staged in the INEC, Killarney,this evening, Thursday, May 26.
Patrick – The 1916 Story of Captain Patrick O'Connor is written and directed by journalist and author Aidan O'Connor, Rathmore, and depicts the final weeks of Patrick’s life before he joined the GPO Garrison on Easter Monday, 1916.
The show ran in Rathmore Community Centre and such was the keen demand for tickets that an extra two nights were added to the original two-night run.
Up to 20 of Patrick's relatives are made the journey from Dublin and all over the country to see the performance.
A total of 90 actors, singers, musicians and stage crew are involved in the top-class production.
Aidan and cast and crew were overwhelmed by the response to the drama. A total of 1,200 people have seen the show to date, with some people enjoying the production so much that they attended twice!
“I think Patrick’s story has moved people because ultimately it’s a story of God and country, love and loss. The cast have done such an amazing job. A century on, Patrick O’Connor and the cast have brought the 1916 Rising into people’s hearts. I’m so proud of them all,” said Aidan.
Doors open at 7pm this evening and the show starts at 8pm. To book contact 064-6671555.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
