Butt Drama Circle’s ‘An Incident with Dave Cotter’ landed the Adjudicators Award for Excellence in New Writing at last night’s All-Ireland final.
The play, written, directed and acted in by Shaun Byrne, picked up an impressive 25 awards on its way to the finals in Athlone.
Adjudicator, Michael Poynor, praised the power and clarity of the Bloody Sunday play in dealing with a very emotive subject.
