๐ŸŽญโœจ Dunmore Amateur Dramatic Society (DADS) proudly brings Henrik Ibsenโ€™s An Enemy of the People to the Town Hall stage! โœจ๐ŸŽญ

DADS are back on stage and ready to hit the 2026 Amateur Drama Circuit with this powerful and thought-provoking classic.

In a tight-knit community, a shocking discovery comes to light and threatens the lifeblood of the town. Henrik Ibsenโ€™s An Enemy of the People follows Dr Stockmann as he comes face to face with the conflict between personal integrity and societal norms, environmental/ health versus economic interests, and the moral dilemmas and tensions that arise.

Written in 1882, the play has striking relevance in our post-truth society, where experts are dismissed and alternative facts are flagrantly offered.

๐Ÿ“… Dates: Friday, 27th February & Sunday, 1st March
๐Ÿ“ Location: Town Hall, Dunmore
โฐ Time: 8:00 PM
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Tickets: โ‚ฌ15 at the door

These are DADSโ€™ first performances before heading off on the Amateur Drama Circuit, hoping to qualify for the All-Ireland, so your support at home means everything! ๐Ÿ’›

Please support out neighbouring drama group in The Mall Tuam in preparation for their All Ireland drama festival performance.

Please spread the word. Unfortunately this week's Fit Up play has been cancelled.

Please spread the word. Unfortunately this week's Fit Up play has been cancelled.

It is with huge regret we make this announcement.
Unfortunately, this week's performance by Colin Hamell has to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Both the performer and everyone on our team are extremely disappointed.
We did our best to secure another show but as you can imagine this was asking a lot at short notice. To each and every one of you who have supported our festival so far, we hope you know how much we appreciate your presence at our shows. Theatre without an audience is just one big dress rehearsal, so know that you are valued and play a vital role in bringing the magic to the Galway Fit-Up Theatre Festival.

Marsha, Eugene & Marian will visit each venue this week from 730pm to 8pm to explain in person to those we cannot reach on social media. For anyone who availed of a season ticket, please contact 0879677732 to arrange refund.

Later this week we will circulate our audience survey, as we value your feedback.
