Connemarvellous by Fore's Bláthnaid Daly comes to Moate's Tuar Aird Theatre tonight.

A Westmeath playwright's bilingual comedy makes its way to the Midlands this evening.

Connemarvellous is a one woman show written and performed by Fore's Bláthnaid Daly, about a teenager's first trip to the Gaeltacht.

The project is touring its way across Ireland, with tonight's show at the Tuar Aird Theatre in Moate at 8pm.

Ms Daly studied at the Gaiety School of Acting and graduated in 2021.

She says the play comes from her own grá for the language:
