The Whispering Chair A Rehearsed Reading of a new play by Tara Maria Lovett performed by Aonghus Og McAnally and Clare Monnelly
Where did the chair come from? Who sat in it? Who owns it? What stories will it reveal?
The play is set against the backdrop of the War of Independence in Cavan. The chair is a wedding gift from Hugh to his wife Aggie both heavily involved in the War of Independence. Rescued from the burning of a big house in Cavan as the war escalates, the chair and who comes to sit in it, will haunt them for the rest of their lives. The chair is rescued by Con in 2016. He is married to Maud a granddaughter of Aggie. Con sets about restoring the chair and the secrets is reveals. As Con and Maud struggle in their relationship, their own private war, the past haunts the present. The play explores the struggle for both identity and survival in Ireland over one hundred years.
The play is part of a mentorship opportunity for the writer with the dramaturg Pamela McQueen. The chair, an object from the Women of Influence exhibition was selected by the local Craft Group for the writer to respond to.

Cavan Burren Park
The Barber of Belcoo a new play by John McManus
Angela Maguire left Fermanagh almost forty years ago, vowing never to return… and yet return she has: to cut hair by day and confront the painful memories of her childhood by night, only too aware of the danger lurking ahead on this dark path she’s stepped onto, for if there’s one woman who knows what evil lies in the hearts of men, it’s the Barber of Belcoo…
Directed by Padraic McIntyre (Ramor Theatre and Livin Dred) at Cavan Burren Park and starring Bríd Ní Neachtain in the title role
John McManus is from Ballyconnell in County Cavan. His radio plays, No Hate Going to Loss and Will You Swap Knees with Me? Both won RTE P.J. O’Connor Awards. His first stage play, A Lock of Fierce Roars, received a staged reading by Druid Theatre Company. The Quare Land first produced by Decadent Theatre Company at the Galway Arts Festival in 2010 toured Ireland and was produced in New York at the Irish Repertory Theatre in 2015 as part of the Origin First Irish Festival where it won the Best Playwright Award. John completed the New Playwright’s Programme at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2014. Other plays include The Cavan Curse and Danger Money.

As you walk through the forest, you can hear twigs snap beneath your feet. When you look up, you can see the sun shine through the leaves. When you take a deep breath, you can smell the fresh scent of pinecones in the air. In the middle of Whistleberry Forest, you will find a very magical Wishing Tree where the creatures of the forest often gather to make their very own wish.
In this multisensory musical workshop, an invited group of children from an ASD Unit in Co. Monaghan will be led on a journey through Whistleberry Forest. The music and songs from this workshop will be recorded and shared with another group of children in Co. Cavan so that they can also join the sensory adventure.

Isolation and Creativity
A reflection through poetry by Noel Monahan on the themes of isolation and creativity. Creativity by its very nature requires you to find your place of isolation and remain there for quite a while sifting through the art form, its mysteries and magical nature. Self belief and discovery to hear your own voice and shut the outside world are necessary. Music by Kavan Donohoe.

Blúiríní Béalóidis: What is Folklore? with Jonny Dillon
Welcome to Blúiríní Béaloidis, the podcast from the National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin.
In this introductory episode, hosts Jonny Dillon and Claire Doohan delve into definitions of folklore to dispel some common misconceptions surrounding this area of interest, as well as tracing the cultural and political context of the interest in folk-tradition, which saw it arise as an expression of romantic nationalist thought across Ireland and Europe of the 19th century.
The Main Manuscript Collection, assembled by the Irish Folklore Commission and its successors, preserves an important record of Ireland’s oral tradition and material culture. It features folklore recorded from across the 32 counties of Ireland, in both Irish and English.
