A tale of an establishment unwilling to listen - with awful and far reaching consequences. Using Hansard & The Times, this is verbatim theatre, with an Ulster Chorus commenting. It explores the events of parliament on 31stJan 1972. #bernadettedevlin

#WomensHistoryMonth WOTD is #BernadetteDevlin Raised her siblings after her parent's death. Born in poverty. Self-made. Ireland's then youngest MP @ 21. Witness to the #BloodySunday massacre. Survived an assassination attempt in front of her children. Controversial & redoubtable.
