From These Green Heights

From These Green Heights is an extraordinary journey through the lives of two Dublin families. Spanning four decades, the action moves from the 1960s when Dessie first glimpses the landmark Ballymun Towers, to the night in 2004 when his young doaughter packs up to leave the flat that has been their home.

Brilliantly theatrical, tragic, yet tender, From These Green Heights is a hidden history of modern Dublin, exploring the relaitonship between a stigmatized suburb, and the inhabitants who fought to reshape it and call it home.

 

 

'A towering production...a rare and special thing...Bolger's rich, evocative language swells and surges, carrying the characters with a confident ease through their multi-faceted and often arduous journeys. From These Green Heights is something to be treasured. It brings to life a pocket of Irish history, which will now not be forgotten. Don't miss it.' --Sunday Business Post
