Bailieborough Drama Group put Co Cavan on the national map over the weekend after they were crowned All-Ireland champions in the one-act confined drama festival. The local group came out on top during the finals in Naas after a long journey on the All-Ireland drama circuit, travelling the length and breadth of the country, impressing judges and audiences along the way with their play 'Dying Minutes'.
Local woman Liz O'Hanlon not only wrote the award-winning play, but acted on stage also. Speaking to Northern Sound, Liz said she is "overwhelmed" by the support the group has received since they were crowned All-Ireland champions. According to Liz, during the All-Ireland finals there was a "feeling of goodwill" towards the group which made the experience all the more special.
"When it was announced on the night we just knew that we would celebrate and it was pure joy and pure elation," explained Liz. "What was very special was that there was a strong feeling of goodwill towards us as a group and the general consensus was that we were very popular winners and that was magical as well to know that people really wished us the best."
