March 25-26 Forge at Gort Festival
Margaretta D'Arcy and John Arden have put together a series of plays, kicking off in Gort, Co. Galway at the upcoming festival, which resurrects the memory of George Moore
It’s now 100 years since George Moore published the first volume, ‘Ave,’ of his three-volume autobiography - ‘Salve’ and ‘Vale’ were the other two volumes - and to commemorate it Margaretta D’Arcy and John Arden have been busy creating a ‘Tea with George Moore’ event, the first part of which will be launched at the forthcoming Forge at Gort festival on March 25th-26th.
Moore has been somewhat neglected. This will go some way towards restoring awareness of this writer of many parts, who came to despise being a Catholic and who endured a tragic falling-out with his MP brother. Details at 091.564822 ext 312.
