Claire Galvin’s Superb Theatrical Performance in Galway Theatre Festival April 29 – May 2 2016

“This is a memory, a threnody, a memorial, an elegy… You can sing to remember what’s gone so it won’t be.” A poetic act of remembrance and questioning, Drawing Crosses On A Dusty Windowpane explores themes of loss and love. Written by Dylan Coburn Gray (winner, Fishamble Best New Writing Award 2013) and performed by Claire Galvin, this part play, part spoken word poem beautifully evokes the human need to remember and connect with a loved-one once they’re gone. Written By: Dylan Coburn Gray. Performed By: Claire Galvin. Directed By: Liam Halligan. Composer: Sean James Garland. Lighting Designer: John Gunning. Image Credit: Carla Rogers.

“As far as I know you never saw the sweetness of this, the gasping rarity and do-we-dare-ity of clasped hands

clasped firmly or a clandestine kiss. Never saw all of this happily packed-ness. Never saw the not-so-youthful
