The Clearing
Touring
1998/1999
Written by Helen Edmundson
Directed by Muriel Romanes
An affecting and 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.
"This is a hugely impressive ensemble production of an important play which should be seen at all costs." The Scotsman
"This play sings with joy and it sings with pain." (Irish Post)
Stellar Quines was awarded funding by the Scottish Arts COuncil and Barclays Bank Stage Partners to remount its successful 1998 production, taking it to a wider audience. In 1999 The Clearing toured Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Liverpool - the first time we toured outside Scotland.
