Unsung hospice heroes to be depicted in new play

It took a long time for the theatre company involved in CARE to create their tale of life in a place that’s synonymous with death, writes Colette Sheridan

THE unsung heroes of a hospice are the subject of Dublin-based Willfredd Theatre Company’s latest play, CARE. The company specialises in plays about communities of interest says its designer and co-director, Sarah Jane Shiels.

“We don’t really have an agenda to make a specific type of work but what we always end up doing is having a story that people might not have heard before. We usually work with every day communities and every day people that we find really interesting and worth telling. Companies like Theatre Club and Anú do similar work.”
