From the Heart at Rothe House<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Heart is a collaboration between Radical Acts and Kilkenny Writers Anonymous, which creatively explores what it was like at the end of the civil war. This weekend will see the culmination of work over three nights (17th<\/sup>, 18th<\/sup> & 19th<\/sup> November<\/strong>) at Rothe House on Parliament Street, Kilkenny. Based on true events in 1923, these stories have been re-imagined and brought to life through a series of workshops with Ita Morrissey. Some are inspired by family history and others prompted from historic reports but all are deeply personal recreations, that promises to provide a memorable evening. Talented local performers will be bringing these heart felt and often harrowing stories to life. Tickets available via Eventbrite.<\/a><\/p>\n

This initiative is part of the Kilkenny County Council Decade of Centenaries Programme 2023 and is supported by the Commemorations Unit of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media<\/em>.<\/p>\n
