A poetic act of remembrance and questioning, “Drawing Crosses On A Dusty Windowpane” explores themes of loss and love. Written by Dylan Coburn Gray (winner, Fishamble Best New Writing Award 2013) and performed by Claire Galvin, this part play, part spoken word poem beautifully evokes the human need to remember and connect with a loved-one once they’re gone.

Drawing Crosses on a Dusty Windowpane is a play about loss drawing on spoken word, it’s a poetic act of remembrance and questioning; performer Claire Galvin stands on stage and shares with us a portrait of a person, place and time that aren’t here any longer. It is about family, it’s about aging, and it asks some hard questions about the Ireland we live in.
