Love in Lockdown: a challenge at the best of times! This is theatre at its resilient best from the partnership of Barnstorm Theatre Company and Barn Owl Players in Kilkenny.
With all the restrictions keeping people isolated in our homes, local theatre is still happening behind closed doors, on radio and online.
In Kilkenny, the theatre community has risen to the challenge and explored how, where and when theatre shows can be presented.
Last November there was a call out to writers in the region to create new short plays for two characters - Love in Lockdown is the result and what a result! The producers are delighted with the talent and variety of the new works. Twenty writers submitted original scripts and 10 have been chosen to produce in two programmes.
