So you've got to just seize the day, live in the moment, take the sunshine, take every day for what it offers you, you know, and particularly, you know, now in our conversations and the earlier political conversations.
There's so much anger, you know, and, you know, kind of this kind of crazy rage and hate and division.
And you just kind of look and go, my God, we've never had so much.
We've never been so prosperous.
You know, we've never been able to freely move around Europe and all these countries, you know, in the way that my parents couldn't, you know, either financially or politically or socially, you know.
And like if we all just kind of sat back and looked at the joy of the world and what it has to offer us.
And as they were saying earlier, give a little bit of space for thought and for other people.
Life would be an awful lot easier.
Yeah.
It's in the Cork Midsummer Festival.
I have, yeah, I have two more, Adrift and Exile.
And Adrift is a family drama set around a kitchen table.
And it writes right into that notion of the main character is in a relationship with a Syrian refugee and the brother and sister come around and all sorts of gun intentions.
And it all just implodes.
But in it, I also have two Irish immigrants, the ghosts of two Irish immigrants.
their grandmother and their brother, and I tell their story through the present story.
So I suppose a little bit like Refuge, it is that past and present.
And I'd be murdered to Dervla if I didn't say that Refuge is also playing in Limerick in the bell table, because that's a really important part of the tour.
And then Joseph Grace is also playing in the pavilion.
