New Writing – Fiona Lucia McGarry

Photographer: Ste Murray @ste_murray

“Oscar Unwritten” is a new compelling play that explores the life of Oscar Wilde through the eyes of one of his best friends, Robbie Ross. Written as Ross wrestles with the question of whether to write a full account of Wilde’s extraordinary and turbulent life, memory and imagination blur, and the past comes vividly to life around him. Figures from Wilde’s world appear alongside the characters that made him famous, tracing his journey from dazzling celebrity to devastating downfall. Fiona Lucia plays Constance Wilde, Oscar’s wife, in this new reimagining.

Graffiti Theatre Company present: ‘Generation Revolution’, a new play by Raymond Scannell with Fiona Lucia McGarry as Eleanor directed by Emelie Fitzgibbon.

What is ‘a rebel’? What is a ‘rebel act’? And what happens to the children of the revolution, to those who inherit the legacy?

Eleanor is a rebel – against family, against school, society norms, against everything. Given a book written by the daughter of Terence MacSweeney, she sets off on a gothic quest for answers to questions.

Raymond Scannell’s exciting and provocative new play, Generation Revolution, is a quirky take on rebellion, inheritance and identity. It is where magic realism and history blend.

This exciting new production will be available to post-primary schools, youth theatres and members of the public from 21st November 2016 – 9th December 2016 and will be performed in Graffiti’s Theatre in Blackpool, Cork as follows:

Monday 21st November –Friday 9th December 10.00am & 2.00pm: School performances.
