Michael Collins' Drama, IRELAND SHED A TEAR? Plays as part of The Dublin Theatre Festival 2016
Written to commemorate the first anniversary of the Carrickmines tragedy, Ireland Shed a Tear? uses song and poetry to portray the life experiences of one Traveller family, while engaging the wider community in a dynamic and light-hearted way.
In the aftermath of the fire that claimed the lives of ten members of the Connors and Gilbert families, including a pregnant mother, Tom sees the introduction of a national fire safety audit of Traveller accommodation as an opportunity for a better life for his family. Living conditions, safety, and issues with his local council might finally be resolved. However, he soon discovers that the battle is far from over.
