Ballydancehall

A one-act comedy about not getting to choose your family,?growing up in rural Ireland, the cultural divide between north and south, and finding solace in art.
Cousins Annie and Mick are two young people in the Gaeltacht of Co. Donegal. They?re not particularly close; Mick works in the tax office, recently graduated from secondary school, and spends his evenings analysing data for his fantasy football team. Annie, four years his senior, is Doc Martin-clad and refuses to listen to anything other than The Smiths.
When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises that will see one young person in the community train at a drama school in Dublin ? the big smoke! ? Annie and Mick go head to head to escape the drudgery of a normal life.
As their dreams collide, they realize they aren?t so different after all, and a reluctant bond emerges between them in this true-to-life comedy.
Written and starring M?che?l ӠFearraigh?and Anna N??Dh?ill?
