Three Days of Rain
Estranged siblings, Walker and Nan, meet with childhood friend,
Pip, in a derelict loft in lower Manhattan in 1995. The purpose of the
reunion is to divide up the legacy of their late fathers, who
worked as partners in a renowned architecture firm in the early
sixties. Events take an unexpected turn, however, and it soon transpires that there's far more than bricks
and mortar at
stake…
Directed
by Fiona Colhoun, produced by Joey Kavanagh, and starring DCU Drama
veterans, Roibeárd ó Mhurcú, Eoin O' Callaghan and Fiona Colhoun, Three Days of Rain promises to be a powerful piece of theatre that is not to be missed.
The show runs from Monday 5th - Thursday 8th of February in 'The Space' @ The Helix, with doors at 7:30pm and tickets priced €8.

MUSICAL!!!
Well..it's that time of year again! The biggest event in the DCU Drama calendar is
quickly approaching – the annual musical!
Every year we put on an absolutely show stopping performance! Past shows have
included Guys and Dolls, Sweet Charity and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. But forget
about what came before – this year promises to be BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER.
This year's show will be: The Full Monty!
Don't be afraid to come out and expose
yourself to this musical version of the popular movie by Terrence McNally and
David Yazbek. You may think you know what it's all about, but The Full
Monty is one of Broadway's most touching musicals showing the lengths men will
go to keep a family together. These regular, blue-collar guys simply take
their problems in stride – displaced, unemployed, and feeling suffocated by the
women in their lives – just wanting to earn a little respect. The
Full Monty's songs and dialogue will have you screeching with laughter.
Will DCU Drama go the full monty? Do you have to ask?
Girls – think this sounds like a boys show? Think again! The stage version of the well known film is slightly
different, with a much bigger role for girls with more than 4 singing roles not
including the chorus. There is even an
additional female character that did not appear in the film! The females in
this show are not only hilarious – but they are kick ass!
The
auditions will take place during week 1 – in the X Building
