RADE on the Radio with "A Proper Da" 

RTE Radio 1 approached RADE some months back with a radio play proposal.  Well Known playwright Maeve Ingoldsby facilitated workshops with the group which resulted in the development of the script.  

The Radio play was recorded in the RADE premises over a full day.  RADE actors worked along side professional actors; Phelim Drew, Gerry Byrne, Pat Nolan and Natalie Radmall-Quirke.  It was a wonderful experience for all involved and hats off to RADE participants who performed fantastically.   

The play was aired:

Date: Sunday 26th September

Time: 8pm
