Moycraig Young Farmers ditch the tractors for upcoming BBC show
From Tractors To Actors 🚜 🎭️
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 Northern Ireland before returning to Mosside in County Antrim for a homecoming show.
Since 1942, the Moycraig Young Farmers have swapped their wellies and sheep shearing for dancing shoes and hilarious monologues. This year they’re performing Sam Cree’s ‘Married Bliss’.
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.
The annual showcase is a tradition that belongs to them and their Ulster-Scots ancestors. It is something they are fiercely proud of.
BBC NI are excited to share a behind the scenes views as the team prepare for their next performance.
Airing Monday 31st May at 10.30pm on BBC One, the young farmers begin rehearsals as well as balancing their daily farming routines too.
Find out how the Coronavirus has an affect on their big showcase - an event that has only been missed once in its near 70-year existence.
With all the drama can they rally together to keep their long-standing tradition alive? You're going to have to tune in to find out!
Don't forget, Monday 31st May at 10.30pm on BBC One.
