Written and performed by Anne Curtis
Constance Markievicz (1868-1927) was a revolutionary, a suffragist, and a socialist and the first woman ever elected to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Born into privilege in the Anglo‑Irish ruling class, she turned her back on wealth and convention to fight for Ireland’s freedom and social justice.
In this powerful one‑woman performance, Constance looks back on her extraordinary life, from the drawing rooms of privilege to the prison cells of rebellion. Through her eyes we witness the great turning points of Irish history: the Little Famine, the Gaelic Revival, the Great War, the Easter Rising, and the Civil War.
‘Echoes of a Soul ‘commemorates almost one hundred years since her death a century after a woman’s voice first shook the foundations of empire. This show will be of interest to those who would like to know more about Irish history.

Join us for a celebration of one hundred years of the Irish Passport. Settle into an evening of music, stories, and sketches that shine a light on what the Irish passport means to people from all walks of life. It’s more than a travel document — it’s a lifeline, a laugh, a link to home. Through songs you know and tales that feel familiar, we’ll explore how a little book can carry hopes, memories, and pride across borders and generations. It’s honest, it’s heartfelt, and it’s got good tunes. We’d love to see you there.
