The RTÉ All Ireland Drama Festival sees the nine top amateur drama groups in Ireland compete for the honour of being crowned All Ireland Champions 2014. Having come through a qualifying circuit of thirty five local drama festivals held throughout Ireland in February and March, these groups will battle it out in a grand final in Athlone in May. The adjudicator is Russell Boyce. This is the most prestigious event in the world of amateur theatre and is supported by a full programme of fringe events including art exhibitions, workshops and entertainment at various venues around the town throughout the duration of the festival.
