Doireann Ní Ghríofa on bringing A Ghost In The Throat to the stage in Cork

The author will read excerpts of her acclaimed book as part of a streamed show from the Everyman for Cork Midsummer Festival 

Doireann Ní Ghríofa has collaborated with filmmaker Tadhg O’Sullivan and composer Linda Buckley for the production of A Ghost In The Throat.

There are some writers who possess the enviable talent of not only working their magic on the page, but also on the stage — breathing new life into their work through public readings. 

Anyone who has ever heard Doireann Ní Ghríofa reading her poetry will know how she thrives on the oral rendition, bringing a whole new dimension and power to her writing. To have been deprived of such an outlet in the last year or so, when she launched her acclaimed prose debut, A Ghost in the Throat, has been a blow.
