The One act Circuit, 2016 culminated in a most successful All Ireland One Act Final, held recently at The Mill Theatre, Dundrum and hosted by Balally Players and Dundrum One Act Festival. A wonderful weekend of drama saw The Moat Club, Naas take the Open title, while Blue Hat Productions won the confined title. Creative direction, beautiful presentation and some wonderful performances ensured that the capacity audiences were treated to a feast of drama. Balally Players left no detail to spare in their organisation of the finals. Take a bow, festival director Karen Carleton and team, the award winners and the joint committee of the DLI | ADCI.
