On the Wire

ON THE WIRE
Caught between no man's land and home...

February 1919, Jack arrives home to Limerick. The war is over but, for Jack, the battle carries on. How can he return to his family and life back home, when he is haunted by all he has seen; all that he doesn't want to remember, but is unable to forget?
Inspired by real-life stories of Limerick people who left for World War I, and those who were left behind, On the Wire takes the audience on an intimate, poignant journey through the atmospheric rooms and hallways of The Sailor's Home.

Written & Performed by Marie Boylan, Mike Finn, Amanda Minihan, Patrick Ryan and Shane Whisker.
Directed by Terry O'Donovan.
