Listen Back: Man with Cavan connections bring his one man show to region. Your born in one country, but your parents come from another so what does that make you?
Where do you find your identity? How do you define yourself? Are you British? Or are you Irish? Or don’t you know?
Join Declan Duffy as he attempts to make some good sense out of it all. He’ll consider the history of Irish migration to Britain, the difficulties encountered by the people who made that journey, and how all of it has influenced us, their descendants, in our consideration of who we are, what we are.
The production that Declan brings to Monaghan, Shercock and Virginia next week is a one man show - Call Yourself an Irishman?
Declan was raised in London to Cavan parents and he recalls spending summers with his Carrickmacross cousins.
Declan Duffy joined Ronan Gargan to talk in detail about his connections to Cavan and Monaghan and about his delight surrounding bringing in show to the region.
