A Pagan Place
Adapted by Edna O’Brien from her 1970 novel.
“Veronica Quilligan played a sensitive little girl who wandered through the episodic sketches of family and village life in the most enthralling fashion. But the quiet calm of Dave Allen’s performance is what haunted the memory afterwards.” – Eric Johns, THEATRE REVIEW 73
In December 1972 Veronica Quilligan won the Plays and Players ‘Most Promising Actress’ award for her performance in this play.
