Belfast Girls

Synopsis:
about five young women travelling to Australia in 1850 draws a chilling parallel between the Irish Famine and todays continuing banking crisis. The story of the so-called orphan girls on board, for whom the voyage provides a fresh start  and also time to come to terms with the disaster they have left behind  is a savage attack on the policy (then and now) of laissez-faire.

Notes:
BELFAST GIRLS was also recently invited by the Arts Council of Ireland to be read in Drogheda (Ireland) as part of 2012 National Commemoration Events for the Irish Famine.

Mushroom Pickers, The

Synopsis:
Laura has returned to rural Ireland, where bomb plots and the rumble of helicopters overhead are still the daily reality, determined to bring up her unborn child in the land she loves. Casually employed as a mushroom picker, she soon catches the eye of her tempestuous boss Frank, nicknamed the "grim reaper" by locals because of his rumured involvement in the IRA.
