'I'm very proud to have come from Enniskillen.'
Line Of Duty star Adrian Dunbar has predicted a bright future for a literary festival in his home town after it returned with a bang following the pandemic.
Fifty years earlier another of Ireland’s literary greats, Oscar Wilde, also attended Portora, which is now known as Enniskillen Royal Grammar School. “It’s lasted for 10 years, it survived Covid, a lot of things haven’t survived that period, but the festival has and it’s back and the aficionados are back, the Beckett lovers are back, the people who engage with Sam’s work are back and they’re coming from all over the place again.
“I’m very proud to have come from Enniskillen. This was an incredible place to grow up as a kid with the rivers and the lakes, the fishing, the boats, it’s kind of like Huckleberry Finn-type stuff.As well as Ohio Impromptu directed by Dunbar on Devenish Island, the five-day festival also staged performances in a variety of other unusual settings, including below ground in the Marble Arch Caves.
“We go from year to year. It’s a very, very underfunded festival and we sort of scrape the funding together. Therefore, it’s more rewarding to cross the line somehow or other with that, and each year it is a struggle to do so, but we get so rewarded by the audiences’ reactions – that’s what takes us on to the next year. We’d love to get bigger and better.
