‘In the Midst of Plenty’ is a new folk musical from Enchanted Croi Theatre touring Ireland and premiering at the Mullingar Arts Centre (May 25th and 26th), before traveling to Town Hall Cavan (May 28th) and Backstage Theatre, Longford (May 31st). The show tells the story of the desperate lengths the starving tenants on the Strokestown estate in Roscommon went to in order to survive the Great Hunger, and their exodus along what is now known as the National Famine Way. Exploring themes of Irish womanhood, family, community, and rebellion, this production peels back the curtain of antiquity surrounding the Great Hunger and presents the reality of this true story in all of its bare, heartfelt authenticity. More information at www.inthemidstofplenty.com or email inthemidstofplenty@gmail.com. Box office contacts: Mullingar (449347777), Cavan (494380494), Longford (433347888). Ticket prices vary by venue, call for best concession rate.
National Famine Commeration Day: Sunday May 21st next has been nominated as National Famine Commemoration Day.
Religious leaders of all faiths are being asked to remember the innocents and exiles of the Great Hunger on their day of worship or on the weekend of the National Famine Commemoration Day.
It is suggested that tolling Church Bells on that day will help unite the bond of humanity in remembrance of past loss and support and solidarity in grief for present loss.
