Join us for a panel discussion about the upcoming production of “Belfast Girls” by Jaki McCarrick and its contemporary resonance to governmental immigration/emigration schemes.
About Belfast Girls: Escaping the Irish famine in 1850, five young women seek passage on a ship to Australia. For many of the ‘orphan girls’ on board, the voyage offers a fresh start. But some girls find they cannot escape the memory of the lives they’ve left behind – and that the closer they get to Australia the more powerful the past becomes. |
