Theatre

Bruckless Community Centre brings local folklore to life, showcasing a full performance of the musical ‘At The End Of The Day’. Based in South-West Donegal, and inspired by the patchwork quilt ‘Love Across The Waves’ by Arranmore and Tir Boghaine Women’s Groups, and the Bruckless Bay Disaster, ‘At The End Of The Day – The Musical’ provides a look at life in Donegal during the early 1800s.

Written by Leslie Long, the plot of the musical mainly follows the relationship of Matthew Lyons and Nuala Green, from the time they first meet, to the time they become engaged to be married, and also the events leading up to their meeting, including the Bruckless drownings and the economic conditions of the time.
