Kilbane, Jr. Brendan O’Reilly Clementina Santi Flaherty Simon Lorne Ciarán O’Reilly Rich Flood Ellen McCourt, Chair Emeritus Nancy Woodruff A Letter from the Directors

There are two things that fill our hearts: working with great actors at the top of their game and presenting powerful stories that tantalize the senses and bring us laughter and tears in equal measure. Such a gift Geraldine Hughes has brought to us in her autobiographical play Belfast Blues.

We had the great pleasure of working with Geraldine a decade ago in Brian Friel’s Molly Sweeney and, recently in our Digital Summer Season where she mesmerized us again in her beautiful new portrayal of the title role.

In Belfast Blues, she gives us her own story culled from war torn Belfast in the depths of The Troubles. It is a work filled with courage and grit and joy.

We dare anyone to watch this and not be moved by the work of this seminal actress.
