Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story (Screenings)
Advertisement
The Dock hosts two screenings (11:30am, 7pm) of Blue Road — candid portrait of one of the world’s greatest and most charismatic writers, Irish author Edna O’Brien.
Emerging from rural Ireland, Edna O’Brien broke multiple taboos with her sexually provocative literature and equally adventurous love life. O'Brien's books were banned and burned at home in Ireland. In London and New York, she had illicit love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune.
In her final year, aged 93, she shares her diaries and gives one last interview to filmmaker Sinéad O'Shea about her extraordinary life. Here, she opens up about her past with additional perspectives offered by Gabriel Byrne, Walter Mosely, and others. Her diaries are read aloud by Oscar nominated actress, Jessie Buckley.
