President attends outdoor performance of Samuel Beckett’s Laethanta Sona

President Higgins and Sabina are travelling to Inis Oírr, for a performance of Laethanta Sona (Happy Days), staged on the island as part of the Galway International Arts Festival.

The play, directed by Sarah Jane Scaife and translated into Irish by Mícheál Ó Chongaile, will be performed at Chreig an Staic on Inis Oírr, the smallest of the Aran Islands off the coast of County Galway.

As part of the performance, President Higgins and Sabina visited the ‘Laethanta Sona: Saol ar an Creig’ exhibition, which celebrates the process of Laethanta Sona and the people of the island.
