About The Poetical Life of Philomena McGuinness - Ripon Arts Hub Theatre

How will history remember you? As the person you are, or as the person you want to be? A funny and poignant story of an Irish nurse and poet, based on the true stories from World War II.

Its 1939 and Philomena McGuinness, an Irish nurse and poet, has been newly recruited for the British war effort. But can one live a life true to the poetry inside them when they are constantly being defined by their role in the war?

If you leave this play feeling anything other than touched and inspired, then you are probably not breathing Broadway Baby

The company was founded by Joshua King (playwright and fiction writer) and performer and voice actor, Jasmin Gleeson. Joshua is also co-founder of and writer for theatre company Say It Again, Sorry?
