Jacqueline Nolan is an Irish actress and writer. We met when I photographed the poster for her theater production When Maggie Went Away, a play about Maggie, an Irish country girl, who secretly
gives birth to a baby boy and is forced to give him away. Her
journalist daughter discovers a global story on abuse in the Catholic
Church is also her family’s narrative, and sets out to put flesh on the
bones of a past hidden by church, state, media – and shame. A true story
of atonement for the sins of others, softened by Irish humour.
