This historical drama set in 1847 at the height of Ireland’s Great Famine, and featuring an original score of contemporary acoustic folk music performed by a cast of professional actors and a live folk band, “In the Midst of Plenty” tells the story of Bridget Connor - a tenant on the Strokestown estate - as she struggles to protect her family from the forces of starvation, eviction, and emigration.

Produced and directed by Anne-Marie O’Sullivan of Enchanted Croí Theatre, “In the Midst of Plenty” has played to packed houses in both the Roscommon Arts Centre and the National Famine Museum.
