We ask our visiting artists to tell us a little bit about themselves. We hope that these short questionnaires will reveal something that you didn't know or expect about them.


Eilish Rafferty hails from Naas, County Kildare, and is a founding member of Nomad Players. She has a real passion for stage acting and has already made her mark on various Irish stages.


But really, who is Eilish Raffety ? Her answers to our quickfire questionnaire might surprise you!




Q- Tell us about yourself

A- My name is Eilish Rafferty. I'm an actress from Naas, County Kildare, and I am performing the part of Woman in Laughing Wild by Christopher Durang, which will be at the Birr Theatre and Arts Centre on 22nd February.



Q- What will you play in Birr?

A- I'm playing the part of Woman.


Q- Who is your biggest influence?

A- Wow. That's a big question. For stage, I think my biggest influence is people. Just other people, watching. I love watching people, watching their reactions in real life. Because that's what I've got to do. You know, I've got to translate that on stage as a character.


Q- Describe yourself as a 10-year-old.

A- Ten year old me. She's very good, she's a good girl. The eldest daughter. Two younger sisters to look after. Bit of a dreamer. Spent a lot of time in my interior world.


Q- What’s your best on stage memory?

A- Oh, I really enjoy being on stage when I don't have any lines to say. It's the best feeling because you can be just 100% fully there and you're listening and watching, reacting. I love those moments.


Q- What’s your worst on stage memory?

A- Worst onstage memory. I don't really have any bad memories, I think. Yeah, I've forgotten lines. I've dried, but, you know, I've learned to just breathe through it and relax and I find my way.


Q- Where are you at your happiest?

A- Drinking coffee with friends, or wine.


Q- What’s your favourite colour?

A- Oh, green..


Q- What’s the last book you enjoyed?

A- I'm reading The Bee Sting at the moment. It's really good.


Q- What's the last Play or Film that you enjoyed?

A- The last film I saw was A Complete Unknown. It was excellent.


Q- What’s your favourite song of all time?

A- Oh, that's too hard. In terms of getting out onto the dancefloor, Groove Is In The Heart by Dee-Lite. Works every time.



Eilish Rafferty will be on our stage in the Hilarious Comedy "Laughing Wild" Saturday, 22 February from 8pm.

Tickets available online here or through our box office : 057 9122911

The Love tester evokes a profound sense of curiosity and excitement, enabling participants to compare their own "love percentage" with that of diverse other couples. The game fosters the development of authentic affection and self-understanding, while also encouraging a healthy spirit of exploration that contributes to the development of a more profound understanding of one's own relationships. The combination of this curiosity and the pleasure of entering names prompts you to contemplate and appreciate the emotional connections in your life with each new test.

Women living in different areas may have different levels of access to online services. Simple explanations about application ladki bahin yojana procedures can help bridge this information gap.

Una de las cosas que más valoro de este tipo de contenido es la claridad. La lotería nacional resulta más fácil de consultar cuando los resultados aparecen separados por fecha y cada sorteo está identificado correctamente.
