SUMMARY:Galway Book Launch – Fierce Love: The Life of Mary O'Malley
DESCRIPTION:The Lilliput Press cordially invites you to join us in celebrating the legacy of Mary O’Malley\, and the launching of Bernard Adams’ new biography on her life and work. \nWith special contributions from Professor Lionel Pilkington\, Professor Daniel Carey and Conor O’Malley. Archive exhibition from the O’Malley/Lyric Theatre Archive\, curated by Dr. Barry Houlihan. \nCopies of Fierce Love will be on sale during the event with thanks to Charlie Byrne’s. \nRegistration \nPlease register for this event via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/galway-book-launch-fierce-love-the-life-of-mary-omalley-tickets-429097009707 \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nCork-born theatre pioneer (1918–2006)\, Mary O’Malley\, was the founder and director of Belfast’s Lyric Players Theatre from 1951–81. \nIn 1947 Mary married Armagh-born doctor Pearse O’Malley and thereafter moved to Northern Ireland. She was elected to Belfast Corporation in May 1952\, as an Irish Labour Party councillor for the Smithfield ward and in 1959 she founded Threshold literary magazine. \nShe started Belfast’s Lyric Players Theatre in the former stables at the back of her Malone Road home. A self-taught and tireless director\, she contested cultural populism and indifference in the north during the ’50s\, ’60s and ’70s to pioneer the new theatre. As their repertoire grew\, O’Malley felt it necessary to provide a permanent theatre for the company\, and in 1961 the Lyric Players Theatre became a non-profit association\, a base from where her protégés from Liam Neeson\, Ciarán Hinds and others bestrode stage and screen in the last half of the twentieth and beyond. \nFierce Love chronicles a resourceful and controversial individual\, who swam against the tide of populism and sectarianism to establish an independent academy for actors and artists in a tireless quest for imaginative freedom and excellence. Mary O’Malley’s life was complex\, and her legacy enduring. \n‘A titan of Northern Ireland’s theatrical scene … I consumed this beautiful book with a few giggles and tears of memories recalled.’ Liam Neeson \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nBernard Adams\, a Dubliner with Ulster roots\, went to school at Portora in Enniskillen and read English at Trinity College\, Dublin. He became a journalist\, writing early notices of Mary O’Malley’s plays for the Belfast Telegraph in Belfast before working as a BBC television producer in London. He is author of Denis Johnston: A Life (Lilliput\, 2002).
