Kat Woods & Aoife Lennon

Kat Woods is a playwright, director & producer. She is the writer of the play, Killymuck. During a run at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival the play attracted rave reviews.

Killymuck tells the story of Niamh – played by Aoife Lennon – a girl growing up on a council estate in Northern Ireland navigating a life of challenging economic and social circumstances.

The play is a wonderful, witty example of storytelling that captures the core of what it is to experience poverty.

Listen as Kat and Aoife talk about the play, its inspiration and how we can shift perceptions around poverty.

They tell Project Twist-It about the reality of being a working class artist today as they try to make ends meet while pursuing their art.
