The character of Anna Evans emerged during our scriptwriting workshops in the summer of 1998 and her creator, Wilma Warner O' Keeffe, developed a monologue around her. Anna was staged in the Blue Room, George's Street, Newbridge, was directed by Wilma and featured Anne Mekitarian in the title role.

This monologue takes us through the life of an elderly woman who reminisces about her relationship with her father, mother, young lover and her sister. Anna reveals her story gradually, using the delicate language of nursery rhyme, colour, half snatches of song and poetry and blending it with robust humour and rhetorical questions.
