Green Rain - A new theatre piece celebrating pianist and composer Joan Trimble

Green Rain, a theatre piece by Miriam Gallagher,  celebrates the life and music of composer Joan Trimble.  Green Rain will be performed at the Ardhowen Theatre as part of Enniskillen Arts Festival from Thursday 30th September – Sunday 3rd October 2010.

This evocative and nostalgic insight into the early life and influences of Enniskillen born composer and pianist Joan Trimble(1915-2000) conjures up her colourful background; her progress from precocious musical childhood to her famed two-piano partnership with her sister, Valerie, and her success as a composer, and later as proprietor of the family-owned Impartial Reporter newspaper. Family, friends and key influencers are vividly recalled in award-winning playwright Miriam Gallagher’s lively script and woven throughout with some of Joan’s best loved two-piano music, performed by Una Hunt and Danusia Oslizlok. As one of Ireland’s leading pianists, Una Hunt has toured extensively in Europe and the USA and has been a champion of Joan Trimble’s music, playing a leading role in returning it to prominence in the Irish music scene.
