Panic Stations!!!!!
Coachford Players will perform the hilarious play ‘Panic Stations’ On March 29th, 30th and 31st in the GAA hall Coachford. The play is a very funny farce set in a cottage in the English countryside. The nine members of the cast are busy rehearsing their parts under the direction of Eugene O’Sullivan. “This is the first farce the group has done in a few years and we are all looking forward to it. The cast is made up of some of the more experienced members of the group and some newcomers to Coachford Players but not to the stage. Come along and enjoy a very light hearted comedy of guns, dynamite and dodgy characters.” said Peter Dineen, the group’s PRO.
