Curlew Theatre Presents: HUNGER An Gorta Mór

The Famine has been for so long in Irish life a literally unspeakable subject. Given the variety of elements involved, what we have done is put together a kind of patchwork quilt, of the voices of some of those directly involved in the famine whether suffering, helping or hindering in the catastrophe itself Our hope is that through immersion in what these living dead voices are telling us, our sense of some of the features of that unspeakable Famine landscape will become clearer to us, and open us to a somewhat more immediate feeling about it.
