Grey Girls: The House at Summerhill is a new site-responsive performance created for the atmospheric attic of the former Carrick-on-Shannon Workhouse.

Performed by Ensemble 32 with Leitrim Male Choir, the work will combine theatre, spoken word, music, song and historical material to explore the lives of the men, women and children who passed through the workhouse. The history of the building will provide the framework, but the focus will be on the people behind that history. Through individual and collective voices, the performance will explore family, separation, poverty, emigration, loss, survival and memory, with particular attention to the experiences of women and girls.
