Laley Lippard, director of “In the Middle Fields” at Solas Nua. Starting on May 20, Solas Nua will be presenting “In the Middle of the Fields” until June 12 at P Street Beach Park in Washington, D.C. Solas Nua, which means “new light” in Irish, is an award-winning arts organization dedicated to contemporary Irish arts. It is located in Washington, D.C. and their mission is “to bring the best of contemporary Irish arts to American audience.” “In the Middle of the Fields” was written by Deirdre Kinahan whose “Wild Sky” played at Solas Nua to sold-out audiences. She also wrote the Helen Hayes Award-winning play, “The Frederick Douglass Project.” This play focuses on Eithne, a breast cancer victim who is undergoing chemo-therapy. She wonders how the disease and recovery will affect her life. Artistic Director Rex Daugherty hopes that today’s audiences will connect with this theme as we all come out into the “fields” again after surviving the pandemic.
