@andre_agius hi there. I won the Kenneth Brannagh award for new drama writing in 2022 with my monologue Black Forest, a dark comedy thriller. It ran at 45 minutes. I can send you the script. What is your project?

[Val O'Connor @valoconnor]

@meanderingtripe She was treated so badly, may she rest in peace

@rtenews R. I. P darling Sinead, anthem of my youth, courage x

So sad to learn of the loss of one of this country's true queens. Sinead, rest in peace, there is no other Troy ❤️

Looking for a radio drama producer to take my play Black Forest, a monologue and winner of the 2022 Kenneth Brannagh New Drama Writing Awards, to good quality radio. Producers get in touch please

[Val O'Connor @valoconnor]

@ruthlessimagery @dublincityfm Hi Ruth, my play Black Forest recently won the Kenneth Brannagh New Drama Writing Awards at the Windsor Fringe Festival in UK beating 192 other scripts. Performed by Jackie Pulford, she has sent you a clip. So far, no Irish broadcast, shall I send you the script?

[Val O'Connor @valoconnor]

Thank you Sinead O'Connor for sharing your gifts, shame on what was done to you. Never be silenced #nothingcompares

[Val O'Connor @valoconnor]

I meant to add, there was also cake involved, there should always be cake #BlackForest

Sharing the news of my win #windsorfringefestival #KennethBrannaghNewDramaWritingAwards with my one woman show Black Forest, a tale of domestic imprisonment, state incarceration, oppression, friendship and redemption, told through dark comedy. Played blindingly by @jackipulford

[Val O'Connor @valoconnor]

Having just watched #Irelandsdirtylaundry and #handmaidstale, there is little difference between the two. As @MargaretAtwood said, everything that happened in the book, has happened

[Jackie Pulford @jackipulford]

I know I may be biased, but @valoconnor really has written the best play for me to perform
In my happiest place on earth today @OldCourtWin @WinFringeUK
Sometimes I pinch myself that I get to do this for a living💚🍀
Thank you @amandanoar too, the Queen of directing.
Grateful 🙏

[Val O'Connor @valoconnor]

@jackipulford @OldCourtWin @WinFringeUK @amandanoar I'm also really happy that you get to do this for a living, perfectly cast for our Margo, I'm just so excited :)
