A Story of a Laundry Girl

Recommended by

  • Rachael Carnes: A Story of a Laundry Girl

    Harrowing, truthful and deeply-felt, Feeny-Williams pulls no punches in her exploration of a horrifying slice of history that sears itself into generations of trauma, for its victims, and their descendants. Walking a razors' edge, the characters charged with actioning unspeakable pain share the pulse of their complicity with institutional abuse, caging us inside a taut nightmare of bureaucratized dehumanization. This would make a wonderful audio narration at the new National Centre for Research and Remembrance in Dublin.

  • Brent Alles: A Story of a Laundry Girl

    A unique look at (fairly recent) history that takes you through the sad story from three different perspectives. On the whole, it provides a moving narrative of fate's sometimes unkind touch upon those it falls. This was a gripping tale from the beginning and would definitely be brought well to life upon a stage.
