Production examines community's reaction to IPAs

The true story of how Newbridge community reacted to the arrival of 100 international protection applicants in the autumn of 2023 is the basis of a production from the Crooked House Theatre Company on Saturday 21 June, writes Brian Byrne. Is Mise Éire Eile will be presented in the Riverbank Arts Centre.

Based on interviews with the applicants, community members and local leaders, and reactions to protests that lasted for weeks, Is Mise Eire Éile examines a community grappling with itself and learning how to connect with new residents.

The production was conceived and is directed by Emily B Ditkovski.
