Blackbird Theatre presents ‘Eclipsed’ by Patricia Burke Brogan
This harrowing story led by an all female cast brings to life the darkness of the old Magdalene laundries. It tells the woeful tale of ‘fallen’ women who have had their babies snatched from them at birth by the order of Nuns and then given up for adoption, and their wretched lives of drudgery earning their keep in the laundry.
