Bray One Act Drama Festival

Bray One Act Drama Festival will be bringing a wonderful mix of comedy and drama to the Mermaid stage. Performed by both newcomers and seasoned performers, these plays are guaranteed to provide 5 nights of entertainment, with all proceeds going to charity. Our nominated charity is the Wicklow Hospice. 

This year we are delighted to welcome Geoff O’Keeffe back to the Festival as our adjudicator, and of course, the loyal Festival audience who support the Bray One Act Festival each year. To banish the January blues join us in Mermaid for a week of varied and exciting drama.
