Playwright and actor, Ronan Colfer, from Fethard on Sea.
A family tragedy at the hands of former Poulfur priest, Fr Sean Fortune, has inspired his playwright nephew to pen a deeply personal play about how one man destroyed the peace of a Co Wexford community in the latter stages of the 20th century.
Ronan Colfer has written ‘Our Brothers In Cloth’, which is set in the mid-1990s, after a priest has left a trail of devastation, suicide and torment in the community where he committed his crimes.
