Lost Lear tells the story of Joy, a retired actor with dementia, who is reliving her memories of rehearsing the Shakespearean tragedy. A nursing home resident, Joy is cared for by staff who recreate her happy memories to maintain a delicate sense of reality. However, her world is upended by the arrival of her estranged son. With Joy’s memory casting him as the character of Cordelia from the play, he must find a way to speak his piece within the limited role he is given. Click HERE for tickets.

 

On November 11th-12th, 2024, our Chamber had the pleasure of welcoming a trade mission from Ireland’s North West City Region, led by the Mayor of Derry, Lilian Seenoi-Barr, and the Cathaoirleach (Mayor) of Donegal County Council, Niamh Kennedy. Both mayors are newly elected in 2024. Notably in 2024, the government of Northern Ireland has been restored after a 2 year hiatus over concerns about post-Brexit trade arrangements.
