Ar Snámh

The world premiere of ‘Ar Snámh’ follows Jane, a young woman who moved away from Dublin as a child, as she returns to her home county by travelling up the Liffey in a dinghy she bought in Lidl.

Along the way, Jane considers the moments that have led her to this journey, from the death of her father when she was a child to the budding relationship she is developing with a local lad, Stephen. Along her journey, Jane speaks into a tape recorder her father left her and tries to fill him in on what he’s missed over all these years, and the struggles she is encountering as a young person in a small village. Jane recalls conversations with various people in her life, playing the parts of friends and family members as she gives us a view of her past and tries to work out her future, as well as reflecting on the housing crisis that is impacting on the lives of people today.

Presented by Smashing Times and performed in Irish with English subtitles.
