Facing up to tragedy: Dezy Walls wrote a play to deal with grief

Dezy Walls wrote a play to help him deal with the lingering grief of his father’s death in the Tuskar Rock crash, writes Colette Sheridan.

WALKING home to his family house in Glounthane, Co Cork after Sunday Mass on March 24, 1968, Dezy Walls, aged 19, went into the hallway and saw his mother with the telephone receiver swinging loosely beside her.
