Butt Drama Circle to stage a riveting murder mystery

The Butt Drama Circle are bringing Murder in the Play to the Balor and the audience is being asked to figure out who the culprit is. This stage production is unique as it showcases as a play within a play. 

Rehearsals have started and this play directed by Kathleen Mc Gowan promises to be a matter of both intrigue and fun.   

The play gets off to a bad start with a missing prop, a latecomer, a clumsy actor, a bickering husband and wife, a bullied props mistress, a frustrated and bad tempered director.

The play takes a turn for the worst when one of the actors ends up dead - the question that needs to be answered is who carried out the deadly act?

Those who fancy themselves as an amateur sleuth or are looking for a night at the theatre with a difference, this is the show for you.

Showing Saturday next, January 27. Tickets on sale now for only €10. Booking now at 074 91 31840.

The drama will also take place at the local Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club on Friday, January 26.

There are some well-known faces in the cast, Jim Holohan, winner of best actor award in his last play; Donna Marie Doherty fresh from her wonderful performance in the Root of All Evil which came second at the All-Ireland Drama Festival; Grace Quinn who was a charming princess in the Panto, Foundered; Highand Radio's Rory Farrell who is well known as the Butt Drama Circle's panto dame for many years; Marina Marcinekova, also fresh from a great performance in the panto; Marie Kelly, a very welcome newcomer to the Butt Drama Circle and Daniel Browne who played a blinder in the play, Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme and featuring the the forthcoming Balor Songbook Show.

The sound is under the careful supervision of Brian Duffy and lighting carefully executed by Brian Bonner who both did great work in the Root of All Evil.
