'A Life' from Drama group

The recent death of playwright Hugh Leonard adds a special element to rehearsals currently under way in Kilcullen Drama Group.

The group is well in production with Leonard's 'A Life', with Bernard Berney playing the part of the protagonist, Desmond Drumm.

Drumm is on the point of retiring from a lifetime of work in the Civil Service, and the play traces that life from his hopes as a young man to the bitterness and disappointment he feels at the end of his career.

The play will open on 14 April.
