LADY GREGORY: IRELAND'S FIRST SOCIAL INFLUENCER

Presented by Miriam Margoyles, Lady Gregory shines a new light on Lady Augusta Gregory, whose work, influence and impact on Irish political and literary life has often been neglected.

An arts documentary that shines new light on a brilliant, driven and complex woman whose work, influence and impact on Irish political and literary life has often been neglected in favour of those who she brought together around her dinner table and who drank her cellar dry.

Award-winning, British/Australian Actress and Activist, Miriam Margolyes, joins one of Ireland’s newest and most high-profile political figures, Dubliner, Senator Lynn Ruane in the camper van for this journey.

The road trip takes viewers across Ireland in order to incorporate three major historical events (the famine, the Easter Rising, the War of Independence) that were most significant in Lady Gregory’s life.
