Rounding off our second series of new audio drama from women writers is ‘Angry Bird’ by Tamsin Larby.<\/p>\r\n

Eileen Nolan is a 75-year old \u2018force of nature\u2019 who has had enough and because she has nothing to lose, that makes her ferocious!\u00a0 She sees the populist Far Right as not only dangerous, but comes with discriminatory attitudes towards women, and being a survivor of domestic violence, she won\u2019t tolerate this either.\u00a0\u00a0 She eggs the leader of the anti-immigrant \u201cIrish Citizen\u2019s Party\u201d in a very public display to make her point, and starts to really enjoy her new rebellious \u2018celebrity\u2019 status. \u00a0However, her motives are more complicated than just politics.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Her solicitor, Lisa Cleary, discovers Eileen has an estranged daughter, Chloe, who desperately wants to reconnect with Eileen as she escapes from her violent husband, but now can\u2019t with all the publicity surrounding her mum.\u00a0 In trying to bring Chloe back into her life, Eileen has pushed her even further away.\u00a0 How will she resolve needing to make her political point and get to see her daughter again?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
