NewtownStewart Theatre Company Presents The New Electric Ballroom

Looking for some show-stopping theatre? Find some incredible productions as a part of the Mountmellick Drama Festival!

This year’s Mountmiellick Drama Festival sees an array of talent take the stage, including NewtownStewart Theatre Company’s production of The New Electric Ballroom!

Trapped in the years that have passed since their halcyon days at The New Electric Ballroom, three sisters in a remote fishing village are still obsessed by darker memories of something resembling romance. A virtuoso, absurdist fable of the debilitating effects of small-town life, Enda Walsh’s stunning play won an Edinburgh Fringe First Award in 2008 and confirmed him as one of Ireland’s most distinctive and dynamic writers of the modern era.

The Newtown Stewart Theatre company have been competing for many years with notable productions such as “Midden”, “Family Plot” and “Shoot the Crow”. They are ecstatic to be taking the stage on April 23rd. Tickets are priced at just €15, so get them before they’re gone by clicking here!

The Mountmellick Drama Festival will run from the 18th until the 26th of  April at Mountmellick Community Arts Centre. With the renowned festival returning after its two-year absense, it’s not to be missed!
