What a way to bring the 2011-12 Fifth Province back close to home in SW London! An audience of more than 80, from the Irish and non-Irish communities. And although most were local, others came from far beyond SW19: someone from South Wales, even someone in the UK for the weekend from Eastern Europe! One man had travelled by bus and train for 2 hours from southeast London but said he would have walked all the way to be sure of seeing such great performances.
Some of the other feedback we especially wanted to share:
'Brilliantly performed. It opened my eyes... a powerful experience' C Wain
'I was transported back to when I first set foot on my father's soil. Your performance made me feel all these memories again.' Theresa Dwyer
Thank you so much to the team at South London Irish Association for being so open to putting on something quite new, as well as for their relaxed style and practical back-up. (Been in so much recently we're beginning to feel like part of the furniture..)
