'I loved the theatricality of the various pageant acts, and the metatheatrical framing.'

'I never watched plays before really...but I thought it was great!'

[Irish Studies@LivUni @IrishInstitute]

'Despite being confronting in its prescience, I absolutely loved your production last night. In the Q&A, you talked about the novel showing as an activist and I thought that really clearly shone through.'

[Irish Studies@LivUni @IrishInstitute]

'arresting, hilarious, and edgy'

'superbly acted and deeply thought-provoking'

'Incredible to see a piece of theatre that makes you think about the country that we're living in.'

[Irish Studies@LivUni @IrishInstitute]

Quick appreciation🧵 for BETWEEN THE ACTS at @livuni's LIVERPOOL LITERARY FESTIVAL last Saturday:
A packed house and a fabulous performance of Between the Acts, adapted by our Dr Eleanor Lybeck and directed by @jenheyes of @cttc_official.

It’s not every day that you get to talk education, history, and Seamus Heaney’s poetry with someone like @philippesands … Listen to our conversation about the @IrishInstitute Seamus Heaney Lecture here: https://t.co/julAGwCPDL

[Irish Studies@LivUni @IrishInstitute]

We so enjoyed @philippesands's visit to us for last December's Seamus Heaney Lecture that we asked him back for a podcast with our @NellLybeck.
Listen to Philippe expand on the subject of his lecture "The Last Colony", how he chose the poems and more:

'People were standing on the backs of their sofas with their arms out, ready to fly.'
