Cáithnín Published by Fishamble

My tiny play Cáithnín has been published online by Fishamble Theatre Company as part of 'Tiny Plays for a Brighter Future' with ESB.

Oxygen Published by Fishamble TinyPlayChallenge

Whilst Ireland was locked down in 2020, Fishamble wanted people to keep their creativity flowing by challenging people in Ireland and around the world to write 600 word Tiny Plays.

​

My tiny play Oxygen was written in response to one of the challenge's prompts, and published online in April 2020.
