I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I had seen a clip from the documentary series Convict Women in which I had a small part, when it was filmed here in 2010. The film clip plus the stills are very good and I look forward to seeing it when it is aired presumably on SBS?
I played, ironically enough considering I spend most of my time playing Louisa the convict woman, the Matron in the Dublin prison before the women got shipped here. If you blink you’d probably miss me and my little part may have got cut anyway but I caught a glimpse of me playing an extra in the street scene in the trailer.
There is a good still of the Iron Collar which we demonstrate on Louisa’s Walk you may like to view this particularly horrible form of punishment?
