Celtic Knots Playwriting Contest
Sponsored by the Irish Repertory Theatre, Inc., a program of Tallahassee Irish Society
reland has a rich history filled with conflict and triumph, literature and music. What is seen externally in the land of endless beauty is not always apparent in the inner life of those who lived through past oppressions with great love of land and liberty. From keeping literature alive in dank monastic cells, to the modern romance of lovers reaching across the religion or political divide, the stories of the great green country cry out to be heard. Some are tragic, many are humorous or ironic. The quirks and foible of a grand people, whether north or south have touched the imaginations of all.
Tell the stories of then and now. The collected memories of a people, who endured and kept alive a culture, are waiting to be shown on stage.
