The Clearing
By: Helen Edmundson
Directed by: Muriel Romanes
A powerful love story, set in a small Irish farming community against the epic backdrop of Oliver Cromwell’s ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Ireland, The Clearing has tremendous modern resonance and explores our sense of national identity and humanity.
Set in 1652, The Clearing is set against the implementation of England’s most vicious design to solve its “Irish Question” by the eradication of the entire Irish Nation.
