Drama festival final to feature on RTE documentary series

The six-part television series focusing on the amateur drama movement culminates tonight with the RTE All-Ireland Drama Festival finals in Athlone.
The last programme in Simply Am-Dram, being shown at 8.30pm tonight on RTE Two, focuses on the culmination of the 2012 drama festival competition.
Filmed over nine months in the run up to the 2012 competition, Simply Am-Dram is a six part series of half-hour programmes that follows seven amateur drama groups in their bid to qualify for the annual finals, which are held in Athlone in May every year.
The fiercely competitive dimension of the groups show the double-lives of the featured characters as we capture them going about their daily routines and witness the lengths to which they will go to be crowned All Ireland champions.
