We are honoured to welcome In Plain Sight to Castle Varagh Hotel, Castlepollard, for two special performances supported by Backstage Theatre.

Friday 13th November | 8pm
Saturday 14th November | 2pm

Presented by Once Off Production & NB Theatre, In Plain Sight is a powerful and compassionate exploration of the legacy of Ireland’s Mother and Baby Homes — and the impact their construction and history had on women, children, communities and the buildings themselves.

Through story, song and architecture, performer and activist Noelle Brown and singer/architect Camille O’Sullivan explore the connections between history and place, focusing on the church-run and State-approved institutions at Sean Ross Abbey, Castlepollard and Bessborough.

The performance brings together original music, historical correspondence, government policy, architectural reflections and re-enactments of Noelle’s campaigning for justice, creating a moving exploration of a difficult and deeply significant part of Ireland’s history.

A thought-provoking performance about memory, place, justice and the power of storytelling to help heal deep wounds.

Two performances only — Friday 13th & Saturday 14th November.
