Happiness Then is coming to Glór in Ennis on October 14th.  It’s a sharp and witty comedy drama about two sisters, Bridget and Frances, who come together for the first time following their mother’s death and, as you can imagine, there’s plenty of old history, family tension and plenty of laughs along the way.  The production stars Rachael Dowling, who you’ll know from Kin, and Sorcha Furlong, who many of you will know as Orla from Fair City.  Sorcha joined Alan Morrissey to tell us more about Happiness Then and what audiences can expect when it comes to Glór.

As we celebrate 100 years of radio in Ireland, we’re looking back at the incredible role it has played in our lives — from the early days of Radio Éireann to the presenters, programmes and voices that became part of our everyday lives.  Author and academic Rosemary Day has delved into that history, exploring everything from women in broadcasting and Irish-language radio to community, pirate and internet radio, and how radio has reflected and shaped Irish society over the past century.  Rosemary is an Associate Professor and Head of Media and Communication Studies at Mary Immaculate College, and she also has a long history with community radio.   Photo (c) igorovsyannykov from pixabay via Canva
