John Clifford’s lifelong interest in drama began in his teens.  He was a member of Larne Drama Circle and had a talent for writing stage plays, of which some scripts still survive.  Join us for an evening of nostalgia as Larne Drama Circle presents readings of two plays by John Clifford. 

‘One of Those Days’, a one-act play,  takes place in the day-room of a workhouse in a provincial town one Christmas Eve just before the First World War. 

‘An Upset House’ takes place in the kitchen of the Lamont family, somewhere in County Antrim in the year 1923.  The play covers a period of about 3 months in six scenes. 

This is a free event, however, places are limited and should be booked in advance by contacting Larne Museum on T: 028 2826 2443 or E: marian.kelso@midandeastantrim.gov.uk.
