Snapshot
A Hawk’s Well Theatre production funded by the Arts Council, Creative Ireland, and Sligo County Council. The 2022 Tour was supported by a Touring Award from the Arts Council as part of the Hawk’s Well Theatre’s 40th birthday celebrations.
Snapshot is a play about two sisters trying to connect in a disconnected world and finding their footing in a changing landscape. Through their relationship, we explore shared memories and changing perspectives, all with deft humour and a lightness of touch.
Snapshot was created out of interviews conducted with a wide variety of people in 2020, over zoom and in parks.
