Chess The Musical
With a fresh perspective, yet honouring the original material, this year, the DMDS bring Chess to the Pavilion Theatre in Dun Laoghaire from 16th to 20th April.
Chess is a riveting musical, telling the story of two grandmasters, going head-to-head for Championshio glory. Beneath the surface is a melting pot of Cold War drama that unravels political hostility, danger, personal conflicts, relatioship gambits and much more.
This powerful score by ABBA´s Benny and Bjorn, with the lyrics of Tim Rice, is one not to be missed!

Our 60th Celebration, 'DMDS Fest', was a massive success thanks to the incredible hard work of our organising team, our performers, our members, local businesses who supported us, and our friends and family who turned out in their masses to celebrate with us.
We raised over 3k for the society which was a brilliant achievement on top of the fun and joy we all felt on the night.
