NYT: Theatre of Dreams

NYT is over for another year!!  A massive well done and thank you to all the cast, crew and artistic team of A Dream Play. A big thank you also to the youth theatre members who came along to support the production. Audience responses were extremely positive and the run was sold out!!!

You can read what the reviewers had to say on the NYT page. This year's NYT attracted unprecedented publicity including features on the RTE news and in The Irish Times. So a huge success all round.
