How was the Famine described by witnesses, by those trying to help and by those facing starvation? Performed by top Irish actors, Famine Monologues is a 6 part fictional series on the Irish Famine written by Anna Carey as part of The Great Irish Famine project on RTE.ie/history. This project is a partnership between RTÉ, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and University College Cork's Atlas of the Great Irish Famine.
