Lyric Fm broadcaster John Kelly gets the plum job of interviewing these three amazing women for this Borris Festival Of Writing And Ideas presentation. Three extraordinary women – one of the greatest voices of contemporary literature; Ireland’s first woman president and advocate for sustainable global development and one of America’s most engaging and daring creative pioneers – confront some of the most urgent questions of today. For many people these three would be amongst their dream dinner party guests so expect riveting conversations on topics such as gender and identity, religion and myth, the power of language, climate change, and power politics. With elections looming large in Ireland, the U.K and America it will be fascinating to hear their views on the candidates and the general health and welfare of the planet.
An Evening with Margaret Atwood, Mary Robinson and Laurie Anderson takes place at Bord Gais Energy Theatre on Sun June 9th at 7.30pm.
