On Tuesday the 24th, all transition year students went to Mullingar for a drama competition. We have all been working on our plays very hard the last few weeks and the relief I feel now that it's all over.
My group did our play based on the poem 'Midterm Break' by Seamus Heaney. We chose to do this because originally we had our own script written which was very humorous and different but unfortunately it didn't work out as well as we imagined so therefore we rescued it last minute and pulled together to perform this play.
If I was to compare our rehearsal's in the classroom to the actual performance on stage I would say that the performance on stage would have been ten time better as we had the advantage of lights, props, costumes & an audience because all these things are a lot more affective to a performance.
There were four plays altogether and all four were very well done and performed. We are all waiting now for the results which are due back in two weeks times & hopefully one or even all four groups from our school will get through to the final. The final is in Cork in the 'Briery Gap Cultural Centre Macroom' http://www.brierygap.com/ so getting through would mean a great day out, down to cork but also means a lot more practise but I think all the girls are able for that! Well done girls and best of luck to everyone! :)
