A thought-provoking new play, Irish Liverpool, will be staged in the Concert Room at St George’s Hall, Liverpool on March 18 to coincide with St Patrick’s Day.

It commemorates those who lost their lives in the Great Famine of the 1840s, taking audiences on a journey through Liverpool's Irish migration.

Irish immigrant women describe their heart-breaking journey, Liverpool merchants debate the problem of the Irish and activists share their struggle for better living conditions for those escaping the famine that destroyed thousands of lives.
