PLAY DESCRIPTION
A woman is serving food in wartime, stealing weapons from the pockets of her British soldier customers. She pours her own food back into the pot. She is having her sketch made by a sculptor, in a house with no roof. Women’s Christmas is a play for live performance and video about the 1923 Cumann na mBan anti-treaty hunger strikers, particularly inspired by the life of Molly O’Reilly.
