The Challengers

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Padraic Colum 

  • Achoimre

    In this play about liberty, Colum explores the 25 'forgotten' years of Irish history in this artistic synthesis of the lives of Parnell, Joyce and Casement, each a challenger, each rejected and each abandoned. Their success is in the spiritual bequest of liberty.
