The River Shannon Project (2014)

The River is a one woman play which researches through testimonial performance and storytelling how people engage with the landscape, physicality and presence of the River Shannon as it flows through the city of Limerick. The River Shannon Project documents this creative practice research carried out by Dr Helena Enright, Senior Lecturer in Drama, at Bath Spa University in partnership with Elemental Arts & Culture Festival, Limerick and Limerick City of Culture 2014.

This Collection comprises a single-component output with contextualising information, providing as evidence of the central output a video recording of a performance of The River (2014) and the original play script of The River. Contextualising information includes a 300-word statement, research timeline, research questions, two published book chapters, research and development images, and a link to a recording of Shannon's Way (an audio walk along the banks of the river).
