Catherine Walsh is an actor from Friar's Walk in Cork, and plays the role of Madge in the production of Philadelphia Here I Come, opening on Tuesday, October 5, at Cork Opera House. Walsh has four siblings, one of whom, Eileen Walsh, is also an actor. "Two actors in one family might come as a surprise but we grew up with uncles and aunts who loved singing, storytelling, writing poetry and plays," says Catherine.
The Apple Family: Scenes from Life in the Country. It's a selection of plays by Richard Nelson. Over lockdown, three of Richard Nelson's plays were performed over Zoom, a pandemic trilogy. The Apple family of Rheinbeck, New York, gathered to share meals and weather the storms. I enjoyed watching these plays so much that I put them on my list for Christmas presents.
