In a deviation from the normal lecture format the societies will be hosting a dramatised reading of a play by well known Clare historian and writer Kieran Sheedy entitled "Sarah Byrne’s Photograph". This play was inspired by a photograph of Sarah Byrne, a feisty Dublin-born woman who along with her husband and four other Wicklow rebels from the 1798 Rebellion was deported to New South Wales in 1805. Sarah’s life took a number of dramatic turns which are recalled in ten inter-linked monologues by three actors, each representing Sarah at pivotal periods in her life.
