Drama presents the first ever One Act Festival! A two week long festival showcasing four great one act shows produced by Maynooths own!

Closer is a play that reflects the true nature of relationships in the current climate; unsteady, everchanging and turbulent. Four people fall in love, fall out of love, and experience some of the most intense feelings one can have.
Please note, this play includes scenes of partial nudity, vulgar language and sexual violence, and is not recommended for anyone under 18.
€2 for members and €4 for non-members.

Our lovely Festivals Coordinator James Browne will be hosting our last workshop of 2016 on Directing this Monday, the 5th, in Classhall E @7pm.
