The Friends of the Island Free Library are sponsoring Irish Voices performed by Stephen Collins at the Library on Saturday, April 12, at 4:00 pm.

They call it The Norton Anthology of English Literature and yet many of the writers included were born in Ireland. The commonality, of course, is the English language but there are vast cultural differences which will be explored in this performance. A great deal of Irish writing deals with the land, the past, the church, and the changing political landscape. Yeats, Joyce, Heaney, McCourt, and other prominent writers are represented in this dramatic offering.

Stephen Collins recently performed at the Library in Sailing Towards My Father, a one-man play about Herman Melville, to great acclaim. For more information about Stephen Collins, check out http://unlaunchedvoices.com.

All are invited. Refreshments will be served.
