Dermott Petty’s play 2 Days In September will be performed at the Miltown Malbay Community Centre in Co Clare on Saturday, October 8th.

The new original play 2 Days In September is the story of the Rineen ambush, where a British Army convoy was ambushed by Mid Clare Brigade of the IRA. 

The aftermath of the ambush saw the revenge sacking, looting and burning of the villages of Ennistymon, Lahinch and Miltown Malbay by the Black and Tans on September 22nd & 23rd, 1920. 

This play received a Decade of Centenaries Arts Project Awards 2021 as part of the Clare County Council Arts office 2021 Decade of Centenaries in association with the Community Strand of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s Commemorative Programs.
