The Big Green Apple is a theatre collaboration between the Attic Studio in Dublin (www.theatticstudio.net) and Origin’s 1st Irish in New York (www.1stirish.org). Camille had travelled to New York, keen to give the Attic Studio a new international platform and as it turns out, George was keen to connect with emerging writers in Ireland and was excited to hear about the wealth of talent at the Attic Studio.
The following September (2013) ‘The Big Green Apple’ kicked off. Attic Studio members were given one week to write, produce and stage plays based around a given topic, this year it was ‘With Love From…’. After a final selection process which took place in the Liberty Hall Theatre Dublin, five of those pieces were chosen to be staged this September at the Times Square Arts Center on 22nd and 23rd Sept as part of the 1st Irish. This process was closely documented by TG4’s arts show Imeall. See link: https://vimeo.com/78157074
