This was a World Premier of the musical, Children of the Dead End, which was written by Anthony Delap and based on the novel of the same name by Patrick McGill. Music was composed by Pat Campbell.

The first night was a gala night in aid of the Leukemia Research

We raised €4000 on the First Night for Leukaemia Research

The production was a resounding success and played to packed houses each night. It was completely sold out for the last 3 nights and unfortunately many people did not get to see it. Because of this we hope to stage the musical again from 24th - 26th October 2007
