The following review was published in Tess Felder’s column, in the Kilkenny People newspaper on August 27th 2008;

Now think how lucky a twenty-something Kilkenny man would [...]

Talking Smitten On KCLR96FM
Earlier this evening I dropped into the KCLR 96FM studios in Kilkenny for a chat with Martin Bridgeman on the Culture Club (Arts Show) about Smitten, some of the public reaction and some of the company’s own reaction.

Struck as with hard blow. Smitten closes.

SMITTEN - Tommy and Daffney
“I’m dancing and singing in the rain…”A Short Story from Smitten
Tommy’s head was spinning with the stories. All the stories he was hearing from his friends about this girl, this girl who came from Kilkenny and was apparently all that. But he just couldn’t figure it out. As he sat, cradling a can of Coke [...]
