This October, An Taibhdhearc will tour secondary schools in Mayo with a production based on Lá Buí Bealtaine by Máiréad Ní Ghráda, which is on the T1 Junior Certificate Irish syllabus.
The show is designed for the classroom, and will take place during the school day, providing a resource and support for Irish teachers and for students studying the text. The main aim of this project is to share the magic of theatre with the students in their own classroom, with their participation, alongside a professional cast and director. Séamus Hughes will be directing, and the cast will feature Áine Kilgallon (Celtic Exodus) and Kevin Hussey (Ros na Rún).

Lá Buí Bealtaine
Lá Buí Bealtaine is a well-known one-act play written by Máiréad Ní Ghráda in 1953. The setting is a beautiful May day, with an elderly man and woman sitting in the garden of a care home. The woman begins to reminisce about a beautiful May day decades earlier, and the fateful events that occurred.
