GERRY McDONNELL,
Madam, - May I inform Jacques Chuto (January 21st), who laments the dearth of celebration for the bicentenary of the birth of James Clarence Mangan on May 1st, that the event will not go unnoticed? My play about Mangan, Whose Veins Ran Lightning, will be produced by Tobar na Rún Theatre Company at a venue to be decided. Also, a seminar is planned at the Irish Writers' Centre in Parnell Square, Dublin.
Let us hope that these events, among others, will make Mangan less "a stranger among the people he ennobled". - Yours, etc.,
GERRY McDONNELL,
