Tragic death of Jonathan Corrie inspired play

A play inspired by the tragic death of homeless man Jonathan Corrie near the Dáil in December 2014 is to be performed at a renowned theatre in West Cork tomorrow night.

Homeless, written by Kieran Doyle, is a one-act drama examining the issue of the continuing crisis in Ireland today.

“There is a thin line between the haves and the have-nots,” said Mr Doyle, an English teacher in Clonakilty Community College, who said the tragic story of Mr Corrie, along with his own experiences working with St Vincent de Paul, had inspired and informed his writing of this play.
