Kill Musical & Dramatic Society in Co Kildare is staging its production of One Act Plays 2025, from TUesday 14th to Friday 17th October, in the Dew Drop Inn, Kill Village.

‘Grind, Gargle, Gilbert’ is written by Philippa Alford and directed by Laura Sheehan.

This play tells the story of three Dublin couples from very different backgrounds, with one couple meeting the others for the first time.

During the course of the evening, the highs and lows of three different marriages are teased out with a few meaningful, hilarious and emotional surprises.

‘There’s Always Spring’ is written by Arthur Lovegrove and directed by Kathleen Lambe, Assistant Director – Aine Skelly

Jill and Ian about to be married come to view an empty flat with the intention of it becoming their martial home.

She loves it but he has excuses as to why it wouldn’t be suitable.

Brenda and Alan are watching in as prospective new tenants are looking through the flat where they once lived.

‘The Sound of the Bell’ iis written and directed by Paul Sheehan.

This play is set in the early eighties in inner city Dublin. Chris, a successful businessman, is visiting his father’s old shop to check up on his old man. Chris wants his dad to sell up and he has bought him a new shop in Naas. It all seems

like a logical move to Chris but the response of the older man is not what Chris expects. This is a play about growing old, of fond and cherished memories, of how as we grow older we grow less able to cope with change, until we too fade away.

Tickets €15 available at Kill Pharmacy and the Parish Office and also from GR8EVENTS.IE

Doors open at 7pm and shows starting at 7.30pm.
