The Somewhat Imagined, Partly Historical, True Story of the Forgotten Irish Playwright

Now with the support of Create and dlr Mill Theatre we have created an original biopic of her life and work with playwright Michelle Read and theatre maker Andrea Scott which will be performed in the Maureen O’Hara Studio. The Elders, a group of 15 community theatre artists will engage you in the incredible journey of Deevy’s life and work, a life in which she was a female deaf playwright writing strong female characters in a male world. A woman who never stopped rising above challenges to keep creating, who fought to remain visible in her lifetime. This original piece will continue to keep her a visible and valuable voice.

Suitable for age 12+
