Place & story
Four winning productions
The All-Ireland Drama Festival’s winners list records Ballyduff Drama Group’s success with On Raftery’s Hill in 2004, Rabbit Hole in 2022, The Ferryman in 2024 and The Blackwater Lightship in 2025. These dated results document successive productions by the group associated with Ballyduff in west Waterford. They do not make the group the current title holder: the same list records Kilmeen’s win in 2026. [2]
Recognition at City Hall
Waterford City and County Council reported a reception for the group in July 2025, hosted by Deputy Mayor John Pratt. It recognised the fourth national title and the third in four years. The reception took place at City Hall, beyond Ballyduff, linking the local performers’ achievement with recognition across the county. [3]
