Keeping all the drama in the family

BALLYDEHOB-BASED writer, Carmel Winters, has explored delicate subjects, such as the sexuality of people who have special needs in the play, B for Baby.

Her challenging first feature film, Snap, about the abduction of a toddler by a teenager, won the ‘best Irish film’ and ‘best director’ awards at the Dublin International Film Festival in 2011.

Winter’s latest play, Best Man, which opens at the Everyman Theatre on Jun 21, as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival, promises to lift the lid on money, power and sex in a relationship “and who gets what when a relationship breaks down”.
