A rehearsed, staged reading of a new play inspired by true events.
A French documentary film-maker travels to her holiday cottage in West Cork in the days before Christmas 1996. It is a journey she has made many times before.
She has come, once again, to immerse herself in the world of Toormore and to be rejuvenated by its unique magic and energy. But this December trip is colder, bleaker and more profound.
Toormore is a portrait of French documentary film-maker and writer Sophie Toscan Du Plantier, during her final visit to West Cork.
Marking the 30th Anniversary of the death of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier, Toormore presents a formidable woman and artist for whom the ruggidness and beauty of West Cork were a vital antidote to the urban intensity of her life in Paris. It imagines her last visit from her perspective.
She would not return home.
The rehearsed staged reading will be followed by a post-show discussion with the co-authors.
