“She Didn’t Say No,” a film made in the 1950s and based on the book “We Are Seven” written by Luna Troy who spent many years living in Bonmahon, will be shown in The Gealach Gorm Theatre this Wednesday August 18th at 8pm. This is a heart warming and often humorous story of a single mother raising her six children in a close knit village community in an era when single mothers were ostracised. The cast includes a number of well know Irish Actors including a young Anna Manahan. The film was banned by the Irish Film Censorship Board when it was first released. This screening is being hosted by the Copper Coast Geopark. There will also be a short documentary on ‘The Fitups’ Irish Touring Theatres of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s which includes an interview with Anna Manahan shortly before she passed away in 2009. A number of locals participated in the making of this documentary. Tickets cost €8 and include interval refreshments and can be booked by telephone or by texting 086-8569358.
