'SAID THE DEAD'
A live reading by Doireann Ní Ghríofa with music by Linda Buckley followed by a conversation with Rick O'Shea.
In Cork city a derelict mental hospital is being converted into modern apartments. The book reconstructs the lives of forgotten 19th and early 20th century female patients and staff at Our Lady's Cork Mental Hospital. The blending of electronic sound, flute and voice with the hypnotic lament like reading made this a truly memorable experience at Tullamore Park.
