The Plough and the Stars

Programme Notes prepared and read by Bríd Ní Ghruagáin.

Audio description is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds from sets, props and costumes to actors’ facial expressions and movements across the stage. The description is delivered via an ear piece during the quieter moments of a performance and therefore only gives essential information that a blind or visually impaired person might miss.

Facilitated by Arts & Disability Ireland with funding from the Arts Council.

As The Plough and The Stars prepares to tour Ireland and America Lisa Farrelly talks to actor Eileen Walsh about strength in character, playing by heart and learning how to fly each and every night.
