Meet Gerry Stembridge at Leixlip Library – everyone welcome

Limerick born Gerry Stembridge worked as a secondary school teacher for five years before deciding to give it all up to pursue his dream of working as a writer and director. To date he's made films such as  Nora, Guiltrip and the hit romantic comedy About Adam as well as writing the script for Ordinary Decent Criminal. As a television producer he bought us Nitehawks and with the late Dermot Morgan he was the driving force behind the radio series Scrap Saturday. His satirical sketch show The State of Us was another hit.

Gerry Stembridge's third novel Unspoken  was described in The Irish Times, as  'Set in the 1950s and 1960s, Unspoken is a cheerfully rambling tale, with an old-fashioned tone that focuses on five Limerick children – born on the same day in 1959 – and their families. Reading it is a little like watching Reeling in the Years
