About the Play

The play is set in a hedge-school in the town land of Baile Beag/Ballybeg, an Irish-speaking community in County Donegal in late August, 1833. The first Royal Ordnance Survey is translating the local Gaelic place names of the townland of Baile Beag in County Donegal into English, with far-reaching personal and cultural consequences for a hedge-school teacher, his two sons, and the small group of local people who attend the school.

Auditions for this play have already been held, but if you are interested in being involved please contact Nick on 0473 856 161 or Eileen on 0477 782 720.
