Black Mirror Theatre Presents A Tragedy Two Ways – “Magdalen” & “Eclipsed”

A Tragedy Two Ways is the story of Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries told from two different perspectives played in two very different dramatic styles. Magdalen Laundries were homes for ‘penitent’ or ‘fallen’ girls, often run by Catholic nuns, in which, over the years, as many as 30,000 Irish women and girls were held in forced labor for indefinite terms. The last such home closed in Ireland in 1996, but the impact on the inmates’ lives is still being revealed.
