CHARLEVILLE-BASED playwright, Katie Holly, took a circuitous route before settling for a writing career which she combines with teaching drama. Her second play, Sharon, which premiered at last year’s Cork Midsummer Festival, will be performed as part of the Blackwater Valley Fit-Up Festival. The festival will see actors and stage crews pitching up in Buttevant, Banteer, Kiskeam, Watergrasshill, Youghal and Fermoy to perform plays in local venues.
