Spring Production - Eclipsed
POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Framed by a present-day prologue and epilogue, "Eclipsed" (by Patricia Burke Brogan) is set in 1963 in a convent laundry at St. Paul's Home for Penitent Women in Killmacha, Ireland. This play explores the practice of making pregnant and unwed Irish mothers work as 'penitents' in church-run laundries. Supervised by nuns who regarded these women as mindless vessels of evil, the women were treated as virtual slaves and their infants were forcibly put up for adoption.

Writer's Weekend 2020
17th - 19th April 2010
'Every story has a beginning, a muddle, and an end.' Philip Larkin
Introducing a mix of theory, writing prompts and group discussion, this weekend course will steer participants through the elements of writing effective fiction. Referencing proven masters, Lisa Harding will focus on 'Voice, Character and Dramatic Action' in fiction, and Alan McMonagle will examine beginnings and endings; voice, tone and point-of-view; characterisation and dialogue; language and setting; and, of course, 'the muddle'. We will also look at what fiction, both long and short, attempts to achieve, and apply prompt-based exercises to topics covered. "
