Karl O' Neill Think Well, O Singer


Think Well, O Singer is a poignant requiem for those who have not been resurrected, written by Karl O'Neill. The play features Brenda Blethyn as Lizzie Taylor and Ciarán Hinds in a compelling narrative that unfolds in a Gloucestershire churchyard, where the remains of poet Ivor Gurney are buried.

The story explores the meeting of two contrasting characters, a Church of England spinster and a Taig from South Armagh, as they navigate their lives and confessions by Gurney's graveside. The play delves into themes of memory, loss, and the haunting echoes of war, all while drawing inspiration from Gurney's own experiences as a poet and soldier.
