Remembering Seamus Heaney | Andrew Bennett

Remembering Seamus Heaney | Andrew Bennett

Clip • 6 Mins • 01 SEP 23 • Niall Carroll's Classical Daytime ADVERTISEMENT PLAYING…

Actor Andrew Bennett played the role of a farmer in the film An Cailín Ciúin. Growing up on a farm was good preparation for the role and also for reading Heaney’s work, steeped as it is, in the poet’s rural childhood. Andrew is struck by parallels to his own experience in the poems Lightenings #6 and #7 (from Seeing Things, Faber & Faber).
