In 1895, Tipperary woman Bridget Cleary was burnt to death by her husband.

His defence? She was a fairy, replaced by a changeling. Her crime? Being a sensual, independent woman who didn't conform to what was expected of her.

What Happened Bridgie Cleary by Tom MacIntyre is a poetic and dramatic interpretation of this important story. Starring Joanne Ryan (Ros na Rún) who was nominated for an Irish Times Theatre Award for her portrayal of Bridgie, alongside well-known actors Myles Breen and Pius McGrath.

With an original soundscape by Stephen Ryan and directed by John Anthony Murphy, this is another must see production from Limerick’s Bottom Dog Theatre company.
