Where the personal meets the political

While the 1981 hunger strikes are referenced in the new play Olwen Fouéré stars in, the Breton-Irish actress tells Alan O’Riordan that the work is about more than the North

WHEN Olwen Fouéré by chance came across a copy of Laurent Gaude’s play Sodome, My Love in 2009, it turned out to be the start of a sustained artistic relationship.

Fouéré, the Breton-Irish performer, went on to stage a world premiere of Gaude’s work at the Project Theatre in 2010.
