Siobhán Mannion introduces
Small Bones, her new RTÉ Drama On One play which will be broadcast this Sunday at 8pm on RTÉ Radio One - listen to
Small Bones above.
When I was asked to write a piece for
Drama On One that would reflect the present moment, I knew early on that the central character would be someone working in the arts.
And so our heroine is a musician, an artist grounded. The play is a nod to all those - on stage and off - whose lives and livelihoods depend on communal shared experience, the presence of a crowd.
