1981
Bhí teach pacáilte againn in Gort na Móna do léiriú an dráma ardmholta 1981 scriofa agus léirithe ag Tony Devlin.
Ní féidir séanadh go raibh tionchar do-aisiompaithe ag Stalic Ocrais 1981, ina bhfuair deich bhfear bás sa streachailt ar son stádais pholaitiúil, ar na
forbairtí polaitiúla blianta ina dhiaidh.
Sa dráma uathúil seo, tugadh léargas domhain dúinn ar ghach duine den deich bhfear seo agus cé a bhí siad.
Trí ceol, amhrán, radharcach agus léiriú, ghlach an seó fhir aonairigh seo ar aistear úrghnách muid ag taispeáint an bealach ar chroith deich bhfear an domhan ó chilíní s’acu. Píosa amharclannaíocht le tragóid de nós Shakespeare , léiríonn 1981 leagáid an stailc ocrais.
Dráma do-chreidte cumhachtach a bhí ann a chur an lucht féachana ag gáire agus ag caoineadh le sár léiriú ó Tony.
Bhí ceol le Gerry Óg ina dhiaidh.
1981
We had a full house in Gort na Móna for the showing of the acclaimed play 1981 written and performed by Tony Devlin.
There can be no doubt that the 1981 Hunger Strike, in which ten men gave their lives in the struggle for political status, irreversibly shaped the political developments for decades to come.
In this unique piece of theatre, we are given a deep insight into the lives of each of the ten men and who they really were.
Through music, song, visuals and performance, this one person show took us on an extraordinary journey, of how ten very ordinary men shook the world from their prison cells. An ultimately uplifting piece of theatre through tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, ’1981? is the story behind the legacy of the Hunger Strike.
An incredibly powerful play that had the audience both laughing and crying with an exceptional performance by Tony Devlin.
We had a music session with Gerry Óg to finish.
