The Newtownstewart Theatre Company open the festival with their performance of ‘Meeting at Menin Gate’ by Martin Lynch. This play is based on a true story and explores the tense outcome of a Protestant woman confronting a former Republican involved in her father’s murder. Will the truth come out? The Newtownstewart Theatre Company have performed plays such as ‘The Factory Girls’, ‘Tea in a China Cup’ and came second in the All Ireland Confined finals last year with their production of ‘The Hen Night Epiphany’.
