'I have to write. That's what I am. My sister Meg is beautiful, my
sister Beth is good, my sister Amy is, well, she is what she is,
but I'm the writer of the family. What shall I do?' Christmas Eve,
1862. With their father away on the frontline of the American Civil
War, the four March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - journey into
adulthood, each determined to pursue a life on their own terms. But
growing up means contending with love and loss, as well as the
myriad twists of fortune that shape a life. Published in 1868,
Louisa May Alcott's Little Women was an immediate critical and
commercial success, and remains one of the best-loved novels of all
time. This joyful and spirited adaptation was first produced at
Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Watford Palace Theatre in 2022,
directed by Brigid Larmour. An earlier version was staged at the
Gate Theatre, Dublin, in 2011. It provides rich opportunities for
any amateur company looking for an uplifting version of a classic
story that's guaranteed to delight audiences.
'Zippy, smart, well-written ... it manages to be both delicious
escapism and refreshingly real' Sunday Times Ireland Everyone who
meets her thinks they know Liddy James. A single mother,
immaculately dressed, she is one of New York City's top lawyers and
seems to juggle her complicated life with ease. Despite her
all-consuming work, her devastating divorce, and her two sons to
look after, here she is - on top of the high wire. But after a
catastrophic incident on prime time TV, Liddy realises the act is
over. She decides to take some time off with the boys and retrace
her family's history in Ireland. But being marooned in the Celtic
countryside is no instant fix, and it is not until Liddy has
encountered a stormy neighbour, an unorthodox wedding and a very
surprising guest, that she remembers how to be The Real Liddy
James.

This very vivid memoir describes the prison experiences of a Cork
Fenian activist, John Sarsfield Casey. 'The Galtee Boy' was a name
used by Casey when he sent letters for publication to newspapers,
one of which was used against him at his trial in 1865. His memoir
was written after he had returned from deportation and describes
the period from his arrest in 1865, his trial in Cork and
conditions in Mountjoy, Millbank, Pentonville and Portland prisons.
His memoir is the most extensive surviving account from the Fenian
side of the experiences of those prisoners detained in Cork.
Biographies of people mentioned in the memoir are given in an
appendix.
