A Special Night of Drama at The Glen Theatre
in Aid of
Rathcoole NS Parents of Additional Needs Support Group
The Glen Theatre Drama Group and its wonderful cast of “The Rain at the End of the Summer” by John B. Keane, are threading the boards for one night only on Sunday, August 11th at 8pm at the Glen Theatre, Banteer, before taking to the stage at The Everyman Theatre later in the month.
Directed by Tadgh O’Keeffe, the play is set during an exceptionally hot Irish summer in 1967. It deals with an unplanned pregnancy that brings disorder to the otherwise amicable O’Brien household. The various characters are torn apart by their beliefs in the best way to deal with the pregnancy. Controversial in its day with its exploration of the class system, sexual liberation, and the sanctity of family and marriage, its power hasn’t been diminished by time.
All tickets sales and proceeds for this once off show are kindly being donated to Rathcoole National School to help aid the purchase of essential resources/equipment to enhance the learning experiences of our neurodivergent pupils/pupils with additional needs within the school. This special night in The Glen Theatre is being run by Rathcoole National School Parents of Children with Additional Needs Support Group.
The support group was formed in 2023 by parents Colette O’Keeffe & Maria Buckley and together they hold a monthly coffee morning in the local Dromtariffe GAA clubroom where parents/carers of children with additional needs attending St. Brendan’s National School are welcome to call in, have a coffee and a chat.
Please support this wonderful evening. Tickets are €15 and available at the door on the night. Tickets can be booked in advance by contacting The Glen Theatre on 029 56239.
