The Workhouse

Reviewed By 66padraigb - Galway, Ireland

While this is not an extensive or elaborate production, it is most insightful and moving. Even to think that a child alive during the potato famine could live to the ripe age of 90 and experience the events of early 20th century Ireland is incredible. On a different level it revealed the barbaric cruelty of some of the farming bosses. BTW we appreciated the Manager letting us start our tour at 4.30, even though he closed at 5pm. Well worth a visit. Padraig
