Overview
We share a history, we share a memory and they both share my heart. It's
that time of the year. A time that Eoin, Mary Anne and Jack all
remember. Having grown up together in various care homes for the
disabled, they now rely on each other in adulthood for support,
friendship and love. But when young film-maker Eleanor arrives,
struggling with hidden issues and agendas of her own, to make a
documentary about their lives together, the examination and attention
she brings threatens to disrupt the long-term relationships and
friendships at the heart of their group. Mainstream is a complex drama
about truth, lies and the mainstreaming of Travellers with disabilities.
It was produced in November 2016 in a co-production between Fishamble
Theatre Company and Project Arts Centre, Dublin.
