Lies Where it Falls
Wednesday 18 June | 8pm | £16 / £14 (conc) / £10 (students)
When actor Ruairi Conaghan was asked to play Patrick Magee, mastermind of the 1984 Brighton Bomb attack on Margaret Thatcher, it triggered memories of an act of violence upon his own family when he was a child.
In 1974 Judge Rory Conaghan was shot dead by the IRA on his Belfast doorstep whilst holding his 9-year-old daughter’s hand. Ruairi Conaghan is Judge Conaghan’s nephew and namesake. His memories of the murder led to a physical and mental collapse that threatened his life. ‘Lies Where It Falls’ uses song, poetry, humour and Shakespeare to tell a courageous story of recovery with life-affirming, soul-bearing honesty.
