Library Late: Screenwriter John Carney in conversation

Wednesday 24 February at 8.00pm

Admission is free but booking is essential

The 2010 Library Late programme will open this month with a season of interviews exploring the art of writing for both stage and screen. In this three month series, which will run from February to May, some of Ireland’s leading stage and screen writers will discuss their craft. The differences and similarities between writing for stage and screen will also be explored in this series of one to one interviews with some of Ireland’s greatest talents of this genre.

The first event in the series will be an interview with the award-winning film and television writer/director John Carney on 24 February. Best known for his award winning 2007 film Once, which won the World Cinema Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, the Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film and the Academy Award for Best Original Song, Carney also co-wrote and co-directed the RTÉ drama series Bachelors Walk, the most successful drama in Irish television history.
