New York Book Launch
Please join TCD graduates Fiona Coleman Coffey and Elizabeth Mannion for a discussion around Irish theatre, on April 11th at the Pig n Whistle Pub and Restaurant in New York City. Both published authors, Fiona and Beth will each share from their recent books around twentieth century Irish Theatre. Come meet your fellow NY alumni for some drinks and discussion, followed by a book signing with the authors.
Fiona and Beth alumni first crossed paths in 2002 at the School of Drama and have been discussing, teaching and debating Irish theatre ever since. With the release of Coffey’s Political Acts: Women in Northern Irish Theatre and Mannion’s The Urban Plays of the Early Abbey Theatre, their conversations have carried over onto the printed page.
Both of these books will be for sale at the event.
