Winners of the RTE All Ireland Drama Festival in 2017 (Dead Man’s Cell Phone, Sarah Ruhl) and 2023 (By the Bog of Cats, Marina Carr) and the prestigious Abbey Theatre Award 2024 for their production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.
We strive to push the boundaries of community theatre merging movement, text, music and production. We are committed to repurposing previous production materials from set, and costumes wherever possible.
We are a group based in Dalkey and rehearse in the Harold Boy’s School every Tuesday and Thursday evening.
We stage our plays in a number of different venues. Our full length plays are put on in The Town Hall, Dalkey Town and Heritage Centre in November and February.
The Circuit play competes on the ADCI Drama Circuit during the month of March.
One Act Plays are staged in The Studio@DLRLexicon in January and compete in the ICA Wicklow Drama Festival, Glenealy and the Bray One Drama Festival in late January.
We run a number of workshops throughout the year with Theatre Professionals. Most recent workshops have been run by Cathal Quinn, Geoff O’Keeffe, Michael Mc Cabe and Imelda McDonagh.
We also have playwrights within the group and schedule in house readings of work in progress and have produced and performed original plays written by members
We welcome new members – please email info@dalkeyplayers.ie to find out more.
