A Name for Herself- Constance Markievicz Play 13 Mar 2020

Trailblazing women take centrestage in A Name for Herself, a new play by Meg McNena, directed by Lynda Fleming. Awaiting death for treason as a leader of the 1916 Irish Rising, Countess Markievicz’s militancy confounds beloved pacifist sister Eva, who appeals for her. A Sligo landlord’s daughter, a crack hunter & horsewoman enshrined in Yeats' verse, lobbies for suffrage, weds a skint Polish count, sells her gems to fund a soup-kitchen in Dublin's lock-out, trains rebels, & pays liberty's cost
