Howdy friends!
Hope everyone enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine last weekend, ’twas only gorgeous! And we have even more sunny times ahead because this week’s workshop will be “The Basics of Writing Comedy” facilitated by the funny and talented man himself Mr Malcolm Bolton!
Inspiration can be a difficult thing to find at times, especially whenever it comes to writing comedy. This week we will be taking a focus on the origins of performative comedy, how the comedic ‘game’ of a scene is established and how to develop character motivations and status.
Malcolm is an Application Support specialist with Zarion software, and your current No Drama Secretary 😉
Outside of actively engaging in No Drama events, monologue nights and shindig pieces, he has also spent his time studying Improvisational Comedy and sketch writing with Mob Theatre Dublin.
How could you not want some more Comedy in your life right now am I right?

Happy Monday dear friends!
We are back, and let me tell you we are back with a BANG!
I am referring to tomorrows workshop facilitator, the one and only, everyone’s favourite, Mr talent himself: Andrei Callanan.
Andrei has been a member of No Drama for over 2 years and has been involved in many different areas of our fantastic group, from being cast in Shindigs and main productions to staring in many recent radio plays, becoming a vital role in our committee and to most recently booking one of the leading roles in the upcoming production “Seminar”.Is there anything the man cannot do?! The answer is no, no there is not, therefore he will be facilitating his first workshop for us and we cannot wait!! This weeks workshop will be “
Accents: An introduction”
We’ll be diving into accents this time. While a good accent doesn’t automatically mean good performance, a bad accent can ruin a good performance. I’ll take you through some of the theory behind accents and maybe teach you a little bit about linguistics too. Using examples we’ll break down the intricacies of an accent which you can use to begin practising for yourself. We’ll also have a bit of fun with it because why not!
Join us tomorrow at 7 pm on zoom for what will be a fantastic evening. The workshop duration will be 1 hour, from 7 pm-8 pm so please try and arrive in our zoom waiting room a few minutes early and we will be ready to rock!

Happy Easter beautiful friends, hope you all had chocolate for a breakfast!
Looking for something to listen to on your easter stroll? Look no further as our new Radioplay “Games” is available to stream RIGHT NOW
– Games –
Written By Alejandro Niklison and Directed by Terry Kenny, While a storm roars outside the window, Daniel dwells on the past. A voice guides him through visions of his mother, his father, and Tim. But memory is uncertain and, as the images contradict themselves, he starts to doubt his sanity and to wonder: what is this place, and to which point we can trust that what we remember is what happened?
Games is a play about abuse, guilt, and the uncertainty of memory.
Directed: by Terry Kenny
Cast: Alejandro Niklison, Andrei Callanan, Daniel O´Shea, Lisa Gallagher, Stephen Madden.
Written and produced by Alejandro Niklison.
