Ballyshannon Drama Society presents ‘Donalbain’, written by Soinbhe Lally and Directed by Moya Ferguson in The Thatch, Ballyshannon, on Friday June 6th with three separate performances.
This One Act play runs for approx. 30 minutes, and blends the worlds of “Macbeth” and “The Playboy of the Western World” through the travels of the sensitive protagonist, Donalbain.
Donalbain, a sensitive aesthete, finds himself out of place in Shakespeare’s tragedy, Macbeth. As a King’s son, he is offended that he has so few lines to speak and that he is expected to exit the play immediately after the death of his father, King Duncan. His exit line, “To Ireland I”, raises the possibility of a better life in Ireland. He might just be able to slip into some quiet play, in the West maybe, where the local shebeen might have a pretty girl behind the counter.
