 Grey Area 

A rehearsed reading of ‘A Grey Area’ 
written by Paula Lonergan in collaboration with Lorraine Mc Colgan.

“To acknowledge that I am dead acknowledges that I lived”. The council are digging up the suicide plot at Clonliffe Crossroads as the land has been sold to private developers. Some locals campaigned strongly for the plot to be remembered so as a gesture the council are going to ‘re-house’ 20 suicides in ‘proper graves’.

As there are thousands of suicides buried there, all of whom are desperate to be considered, the council have had to set up a status-seeker interview process whereby the suicides come forward and present their case in order to be procured a plot. Each case is as compelling and desperate as the next as each one knows they will never rest in peace without this acknowledgement of their existence. This is not their only concern…
