Players onstage with 'What Happened Bridgie Cleary'

Nenagh Players present 'What Happened Bridgie Cleary', a play written by Tom MacIntyre and directed by Donal Bray, on Thursday, February 21st, in the Nenagh Arts Centre at 8pm.

'What Happened Bridgie Cleary' tells the story of a woman from the small south Tipperary community of Ballyvadlea, who was burned to death by her husband Michael, who claimed she was a witch and he had tried to drive the evil spirits out of her. Michael was jailed for manslaughter along with nine others who were variously convicted for their part in this heinous and sinister crime, including her father and six of her cousins.

Set in an anteroom to Heaven, this play reunites Bridgie with her husband and one-time family friend and lover William Simpson. These men are haunted by their love for Bridgie and their role in her terrible death. This dramatic fantasia delves into the dark alliance of superstition, fear and the afterlife. A potent meditation of love, desire and magic.
