Originally a 1987 radio play, 'My Name, Shall I Tell You My Name?' was first staged in Dublin in 1989, and is a simple and beautiful play, an aching cry of pacifism, full of love, pride and regret. It has only two characters, a woman and her grandfather, many miles apart but speaking their reminiscences together in a tender and moving duet. Accompanied by voices from Andrea's childhood, they recount how she grew up with the war stories of her Protestant loyalist grandfather, learning to be proud of where she came from, but discovering that there are new places to go as well.
