Greta Garbo Came to Donegal

Clann Machua Drama presents Greta Garbo Came to Donegal by Frank McGuinness

Ireland is on the verge of violent change, two couples are on the verge of ending, a woman tries to save her family, a girl tries to save her future. Above it all but in the midst of things, determining what happens next, is the loveliest and loneliest of all women, the great Garbo.

But when the gods arrive, they can cause havoc, not least to themselves, as the divine Greta learns.

The History of Clann Machua Drama Group

Clann Machua Drama Kiltimagh has a long and proud tradition of amateur dramatics going all the way back to the formation of the Kiltimagh’s Young Men's Association in 1906. For almost ninety years Kiltimagh had a drama group but this group disbanded in the mid 90’s and there was a period of about fifteen years where there was no active drama group in the town.

Clann Machua Drama Group officially formed in late 2010. Clann Machua as a group has its origins going back to the Mayo 5000 celebrations back in the early 90’s when we formed Clann Machua Street Theatre Company to perform at various venues throughout the county and beyond, the highlight being an appearance on The Late Late Show.

The present Clann Machua Drama Group comprises members of that street theatre group, members of the now defunct drama group and of course brand new members. From its inception we have sought and welcomed new people into our group, some with years of experience and some performing in one of their first productions. This is extremely important to us as a group and even though we now have more than twenty active members, we are always looking for people to come and get involved in all aspects of our productions. So if you think you would like to tread the boards in our next production or perhaps you could give a helping hand painting a set, then get in touch. You’ll find we’re not all work and no play.
