Speaking about the play Lies Where it Falls @finbtheorough in #London, @RuairiConaghan1 said:

"Thanks to the support from @artscouncilni and @theatredanceni both financially and personally I have been able to take this work on this remarkable journey through Belfast, Edinburgh and now London culminating in this nomination from The off West End Stage awards (OFFIES). None of this was achievable without that public support. I look forward to continuing @LWIFplay journey. "
