Alone It Stands
dlr Mill Theatre – 19 to 22 February 2020
Balally Players presented John Breen's 'Alone It Stands' for four nights in February 2020.On 31 October 1978, in Thomond Park, Limerick, the mighty New Zealand All Blacks, on an Irish tour, take on the none-too-mighty Munster team – and, to everyone’s surprise, they lose 12-0. From this piece of Irish sporting history John Breen has fashioned a funny, lively play in which both teams, plus fans, children, relatives and even a dog, are portrayed by a cast of six, with no props and only half-time change of shirt.

dlr Mill Theatre – Wed 30 October for 4 nights
One of three One Act plays in one entertaining night at dlr Mill Theatre from Wednesday 30 October to Saturday 2 November 2019.That title of the second of three plays in Balally Players' 'Evening of One Acts' captured the humour and humanity in the three excellent shows that were run back-to-back. Two of the plays that were presented are original works by members of the group. Audiences enjoyed a motley collection of characters in three very different, but equally engaging stories about people with a few firecrackers of their own!
Waiting For You written by Mark O’Leary and directed by Aisling Uí Laoire
I'm Not Laughing, I'm Screaming written by Sandy Taylor and directed by Lorcan Dunne
Soldier Field written and directed by Pat McCarry.
