Part 2 of 2. 'In the Midst of Plenty' is a new folk musical set in 1847, at the height of Ireland's Great Famine. It tells the story of Bridget Connor, a tenant on the Strokestown Estate in County Roscommon, as she struggles to protect her family from the looming threats of starvation, eviction and emigration. With book and music by singer-songwriter Amy Day and artistic direction by Anne-Marie O'Sullivan (of Enchanted Croí Theatre), the show sold out all its debut performances in 2022, receiving glowing reviews.&nbsp; We visited the Strokestown Park Estate to chat to them while they rehearsed, in preparation for their Nationwide Tour, which is underway NOW!
