Ep 25: Theatre trip: Gone Full Havisham

Ep 25: Theatre trip: Gone Full Havisham

As part of the extracurricular programme of events on offer to students of English and/or Theatre Studies at WIT, staff and students attended a production of Gone Full Havisham at Garter Lane Arts Centre. The play documents the wedding night of Emily Halloran, who has been jilted at the altar and is live streaming the fallout via social media. Written and performed by Irene Kelleher and directed by Regina Crowley, it uses innovative staging techniques and challenges the audience to think about their own complicity as they enjoy the spectacle that unfolds. Dr. Jenny O’Connor is joined in the studio by Dr. Kate McCarthy, lecturer in Theatre Studies and English, and third year students Grainne Kavanagh and John Power who were in attendance on the night.
