Over the years the group have entertained audiences who travelled great distances to come to the Citeaux Hall, having staged plays such as The Field, Sive and Big Maggie.

The group’s first production started with The Man from Clare back in 2008. They are delighted this year to stage Second Confession by Paddy Heffernan.

The comedy plot is spread out over three acts, which examines the consequences of a plan put in place 70 years previous by a man trying to provide for his family’s future.
