 are broken mobile phones. We throw them in a drawer, along with that ancient laptop that just might come in handy someday. The good news, you can recycle anything with a plug, battery or cable for free, and it couldn't be easier. For a list of drop-off points and participating retailers, just go to mywaste.ie. Brought to you by the Government of Ireland. Gene Gurren's Private Collection And you're very welcome back. And as promised on the line, I have got Rory Farrell and Donna Marie Doherty. Rory and Donna, you're very welcome. And sorry, you're just not live in the studio tonight, but anyway, we're streaming on the phone. So if you can do such a thing. Rory, how are you? I'm good. Gene, how are you? So the bots are on the boards again, as I say. And it's a slightly different thing that you're doing now. You're staging a play within a play, and it's a who-done-it-murder mystery. So tell us a bit more about that. Yeah, yeah. So it's something different, as you quite rightly pointed out. It's a play within a play. It centres around a group of amateur actors and their director. And they're trying their very best to get a show together. And during the course of the show, somebody on that stage comes a crapper. And basically it is up to our audience to find out who was responsible through their powers of deduction. That's the short version. And do the cast actually know who done it or is it up to the audience to try and guess? Yeah, so basically the show is divided up into sort of three distinct, three separate acts. And so the first act is where everything is, you're introduced to the characters and everything is sort of teed up. And obviously somebody does meet a grizzly end during the first act as well. And then during the second act, then the whole thing plays out. They decide to investigate who was responsible because it was somebody in the room. It was somebody on that stage who is responsible. And basically between each act, the audience will have the chance to deliberate, talk amongst themselves and decide who they think is responsible for the murder. So as well as a few clues being given out during the performance, I'm sure there's a few red herrings as well to try to take them off the plot. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, it's a bit like the Masked Singer. There's clues everywhere. Clues everywhere. And it really just depends on how many clues that the audience actually spot. But quite right as well, there will be some red herrings thrown in there as well. So all may not be as it seems at the start of the play. But everybody on that stage does have a motive. That's for sure. And the opportunity as well. And I can bring you in there, Donnery. First of all, congratulations on your great success on the circuit with the One Act. You did really well coming second all over Ireland. So well done. So you're in the cast yourself. So tell us a little bit about the cast members and I saw from what Rory sent me. There's a few stall words there, but there's a few new names as well. Yeah, there is. So Grace Quinz on it and she was Hannah in the Pantoo. So if anyone was at the Pantoo, they might recognize her. She had a wig on her for Pantoo. And Marina was also in the Pantoo she's in it. And I think it might be Marie's first time. Would it be Rory? It's Marie's first time out with the Botramma Circle. Yeah, she's a newcomer to the Botramma Circle. And she's a great asset to have. So hopefully we can hold on to her after this. I hope so. And Jim Holden is in it as well. And Daniel Brown, who's, oh, he's been in loads of stuff. He's been more than whenever he was younger. So it's his first time in a while coming back. But God's like, you wouldn't know it on yourself. And what part do you play yourself, Donnery? I play Lizzie. I'm one of the cast members. So I am. I'm very worried doing this interview in case I give anything away. But there's like a play within a play. So I am one of the cast, cast members in it. And within the play, Rory is our director. So Rory, you're the director in the play. But I see that Kathleen McGowan is directing the whole thing. Not the play. It's all very confusing. It's all very confusing. Yeah. So Kathleen McGowan, Kathleen McGowan is directing the play. And then I play a director in the play. Are you still with me? Oh, I'm still with you. I got that. Yes. I think I got that. But yeah. Yeah. So yeah. So I play a pretty obnoxious director. And not a very likable character, I have to say. Not at all. Reflectable life. And Donem Reid, your character is sort of the grounded one. You're very, very quiet. And I think that sort of makes you want to watch. Because it's, you know, it could be the quiet ones. You just never know. And it's not actually in the baller. It's actually in the golf club in Stranora, Rory. Well, we're doing two nights. So the first night has been run in Ballet B&S golf club, Ballet BF in Stranora golf club. That's been done as a fundraiser. So last year's Lady Captain there in queue has asked us to come along and put it on there. So that's this coming Friday, the 26th. And then we pack all up and go over the bridge into Ballet BF to the baller on Saturday the 27th. And I suppose it's quite different performing somewhere outside the theatre. Because when you're in the baller, everything's there on hand. You've got your lighting box, you've got your sound. Whereas when you take it to another venue, there's a lot more work involved for sound and lights and things like that. So there's two very capable men there. I see Brian Duffy and Brian Bonner in charge of the lights and sound. Oh, absolutely. And we're leaving it all. You know, the two guys, we know we'll just be able to walk into the golf club on Friday night. And everything will be set for us. And we won't have a thing to worry about. So only for them. Only for them. Yeah. And where can you book? I suppose you can book for the golf club venue and for the baller theatre venue from the box office. Yeah. So it's the usual for the baller. So ballerarchcenter.com or you can contact the box office on 9131840 during the office hours. For the golf club, you can contact the club directly on 9131093. I think it's a price of 10 euro for both venues. Fantastic. Well, hopefully this old storm will have abated by then and it will not interfere with your plans for Friday or Saturday night. Oh, we hope so. We'll be glad it was out of the way tonight. I think our friends in Letter Kenny pumped away. We're so lucky. Oh, I know. I hope they get back on the stage tomorrow night. Well, the best of luck. It sounds really fun. I was actually involved in one of those, the Letter Kenny Music and Drama Society. They ran one in the golf club here in Letter Kenny and they were all well before COVID. And we didn't actually know who committed the murder either. But the audience just loved it and just trying to figure out, and as we said earlier, the clues that are given out, the red herrings. And then often it's the most unlikely character is the culprit in the end of it. But I'm not asking you to give anything away to me. No, don't beat myself and Donna Marie. We're scared and all of a sudden I can't find the way. I know. But what I will say is, it is a real night with a difference. It's something different and it's something that the audience can get involved with. And if you're a fan of murder mysteries on the telly or mystery novels or whatever, if you fan to yourself, it's a bit of an amateur detective. This is one now for you definitely. It's something you don't want to miss. So we'd encourage everybody to come along if they can. Well, the best of luck with it, Rory and Donna Marie. And as I say, it sounds like fun and I'm sure anything the baller but drama circle do, it'll be perfection. So the best of luck with it. Thank you very much.
