Connie review: Production at Theatre Royal revives memories of Limerick's forgotten Hollywood star
A scene from Connie, at the Theatre Royal, Limerick.
★★★★☆
Limerick’s long-derelict Theatre Royal is being reintroduced to audiences for this site-specific piece, dedicated to another largely forgotten part of Limerick’s history, Constance Smith, a 1950s Hollywood actress erroneously dubbed the “Dublin Dietrich" and, in the words of writers Joanne Ryan and Ann Blake, “the spit of Heddy Lamarr”.
