For Word for Word's latest production they are performing stories by award-winning writers Colm Toibin ("Silence") and Emma Donoghue ("Night Vision"). Both stories are culled from historic fact, and both deal with writers and their adversities.
"Night Vision", directed by Becca Wolff tells of young, blind Frances Browne who thrived on education when it was allowed her, and whose determination made her one of Ireland's most renowned poets.
In "Silence", directed by Jim Cave, Toibin recreates the story of the transient and intense love-affair between Lady Gregory and the young poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. Their affair was secret, but partially revealed in the love-poems she gave him to publish as his own work.
These stories combine to provide an evening showing the power of the word, the thirst for learning, and the profound desire to create.
