Performance Dates Saturday 26th, Sunday 27th, Tuesday 29th April
Deirdre O’Reilly is a member of Kilmeen Drama Group and our friend. She is also the mother of two young girls. On December 22nd 2013 tragedy struck when Deirdre suffered a most severe stroke. She has since been in the care of the wonderful staff at Cork University Hospital. The stroke has left her with paralysis on her right side and with an inability to communicate her feelings and needs. But through it all, 43-year old Deirdre’s passion for life and her special character are still beaming through. Her infectious laughter and sense of humour are still shining in spite of her inability to articulate her emotions and feelings.
All Ireland finalists Ballyduff Drama Group will perform their award winning play ‘Curse of the Starving Class’ by Sam Shepard, directed by Ger Canning in aid of the charity established to support the care of Deirdre and her family on Saturday 26th April. The night will also a include a wine and cheese interval and prizes on the door tickets which cost €15 and can be bought from any committee or cast member or booked on 058 60456 from Friday 18th April .
We are hoping that you will support this very, very worthy cause.
