Dolly West has returned home from Italy to Buncrana, County Donegal. She shares the house with her mother Rima, married sister Esther and husband Ned and with her younger brother Justin, a fiercely nationalistic junior officer in the Irish Army. The year is 1943, and Ireland is maintaining its neutrality in the war against Hitler. Into the already tense lives of this family come three very different men - all soldiers stationed just over the border in Northern Ireland. Alec is an English officer and former lover of Dolly. Marco and Jamie are American soldiers waiting to see action in Europe. The former is handsome and heterosexual, the other an outrageous queen. By the end of the play, everyone's life has been changed irreversibly!

Starring all your favourite Drama Circle faces and a few new ones to boot including: Kathy Maher (Dolly), Claire Walshe (Anna), Mary O’Connor (Esther), Win Walshe (Rima), Cormac Woods (Justin), Kieran Wilson (Ned), Patrick Brennan (Alec), Shaun O’Reilly (Marco) and Peter Slattery (Jamie). This production is Directed by Barry Cullen, with Lighting Design by Martin Keleghan and Set Design by Paul Tristram.

Coolmine Drama Circle was set up in 1974 and since then the group has presented well over 30 full length plays and 18 one act plays.

Audiences will have enjoyed many of their past shows in Draíocht including ‘There’s a Burglar in my Bed’, ‘Don’t Dress for Dinner’, ‘Stags & Hens’, ‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘Death of a Salesman’, ‘The Memory of Water’, ‘Twenty Grand’ and ‘The Magdalen Whitewash’ to name but a few.
