Red electrical tape marks out our playing space on the timber floor. One side of this line denotes the stage; outside of this line is known as the wings. Here, bits of costume and props line up, ready to be brought on stage. Among these props – suitcases, wine bottles, letters – lies a digital camera, very much out of place in this world of 1940s Galway. We’re in the Lab on Foley Street in Dublin. It’s week three of rehearsals for Light a Penny Candle. Maeve Binchy’s heartfelt story, adapted wisely for stage by Shay Linehan, is taking shape. I’ve brought my camera with me this week; I leave it off to the side as we work through the text.
