From Tractors to Actors
The Moycraig Young Farmers prepare to tour their famous three-act play across the country before returning to Mosside for their homecoming show.
Moycraig Young Farmers are known for their love of farming, but every year they trade the field for the stage as they tour a three-act play around the country before returning to Mosside for a homecoming show. Since 1942, they have have swapped their wellies and sheep shearing for dancing shoes and monologues.
Just like the lands they plough, these scripts have been passed down through the generations, with each drama group giving the production its own unique twist whilst staying true to their Ulster-Scots heritage. This year, they’re performing Sam Cree’s Married Bliss.
The annual showcase is a tradition that belongs to them and their ancestors, and is something they are fiercely proud of. But with Covid-19 having put a stop to all live performances, can they rally together to keep their long-standing tradition alive?
