The Poetical Life of Philomena McGuinness


Moon Rabbit Theatre

How will history remember you? As the person you are or, the person you want to be? It’s 1939, Philomena is on her way from Dublin to London to join the British war effort. But can she live true to the poetry inside her when she is constantly being defined by her role in the war? Philomena McGuinness is a poignant and hilarious one-woman play, infused with poetry and inspired by the true stories of Irish nurses in WWII. 'From captivating to sublime' ***** (TheWeeReview.com). ***** (TheEdinburghReporter.co.uk). ***** (BroadwayBaby.com).
