Playwright Jim Nolan is creating a ‘New Play for Waterford’ keeping our heritage and local history very much to the fore. The play is based on an inner-city family and their social, religious and emotional battles with everyday existence.

Set over a single day and night in the back garden of the eponymous Castelgandolfo, a decaying two-up two-down in Waterford's inner city, Nolan’s new play will revolve around the cataclysmic exposure – and radically conflicting recollections - of a family’s deepest and most secret wounds. 

This work will reach a broad local audience and facilitate a regional wide theatrical shared experience that is both rewarding and rare. The project will also involve and collaborate with a large number of local artists, set designers, event managers, radio stations, newspapers, digital publicity forms and thus increase a positive sense of well being and belonging for all involved and those attending this creative work.
