Third Age: Playtime once again as Carnation Theatre performs to nursing home residents

FIVE years ago, Mairead Devlin and her friend, Mary O’Driscoll, formed a small theatre company to perform plays in nursing and care homes, and to encourage the residents to get involved.

“The feedback has been so great,’’ says Devlin. “We want to ensure that everybody gets something out of our shows.

“As Carnation Theatre, we try to bring every show to the next level in terms of interactivity, what we can do and what we can get out of our audience.
