"Epic, riveting and jawdropping..." As she takes to the Abbey stage with Marina Carr's new play Girl on an Altar, Miriam is joined by Cork-born actress Eileen Walsh - listen above.
From her breakthrough in Disco Pigs with the Corkadorca Theatre Company to success with films like The Magdalene Sisters and TV hits Pure Mule and Catastrophe, Eileen Walsh has been a singular presence on stage and screen for the past two decades.
Girl on an Altar is playwright Marina Carr's unique take on the Greek tragedy Agamemnon, reimagined as an intimate portrait of a once-unbreakable couple who can't bring themselves to forgive the past, but can’t live without each other.
Girl on an Altar is at the Abbey Theatre from 8th July – 19th August - find out more here.
