Bigger Picture Projects presents: Postscript

Based on a true story of an adopted person's search for identity.

"A powerful piece of work." **** - The Irish Times
"A gentle, sad, funny delight." - Sunday Independent

A poignant and humorous account of a woman turned detective on a mission to reveal the truth. ‘From a very early age I was told I was adopted. In fairness I think my parents had no choice but to tell me, what with me being redheaded with pale skin in a family with dark skin and dark hair – this made it pretty obvious that something wasn’t right. 

While I loved being able to say I was adopted when I was a child (because it made me feel exotic), I also learned that it was a word that was used by adults with a dropped voice.

‘Bad blood will out’ was a phrase that was often thrown around in conversation in relation to adopted children in 70’s and 80’s Ireland.'
