Blackwater Angel

  • Suíomh

    Near Affane, County Waterford, 1666.

  • Achoimre

    Set in County Waterford in the dangerous summer of 1666, when 'the world is rational and wonders have ceased'. This play dramatises the temptations of Valentine Greatrakes (1629-1683) and explores the relationships of this 'stroker', or miracle-worker, with his art and his anxieties and fears with his family and retinue and with a troupe of strolling players. Above all, this play weighs the effects of the siren-like foundling, Angel Landy, as the healer aspires to bestow peace on others and to achieve it within himself.
