Being Creative...

A visit to the National Art Gallery was a highlight for me last Saturday.
I was attending the showing of eight short plays, each one inspired by a painting from the Gallery.
It made me realise how talented and creative we are as a nation.
The talented playwrights chose their paintings well. One example, the taking of Christ by
Caravaggio was splendidly played out by the actors, giving a modern version of betrayal.
Another, the seamstress was an acting marvel. Beth, played by Tara Maguire conjured up a whole vision of life as it was and can be with Dublin's poor.

Each Play, so well written and performed, has renewed my interest in playwriting
Ireland is noted for many things, perhaps not as saints and scholars nowadays, yet why not?
We have a creative wealth within us.  Let's explore and share our talents.
