Jim Culleton’s work with new playwrights at Fishamble has detonated a controlled explosion of fresh talent. We would all be very much poorer without the stories Fishamble have to tell. |
During the three decades since your establishment you have received acclaim at home and on the international stage, garnering many prestigious awards. You have also staged many brave and groundbreaking plays which have challenged, surprised and delighted audiences around the world. As you look back over thirty years of artistic endeavor you have much to regard with pride. Fishamble is to be congratulated on bringing original material to the public. It is ploughing a risky furrow to produce fresh, innovative and modern Irish writing for the theatre. I wish the company continuing success. |
