Students’ Reactions to Marina Carr’s Reading on the Irish Itinerary 2018 at the SWANE Café in Wuppertal
“I had never attended a reading before. Therefore, I didn’t know what to expect. Now I can say that the reading of Marina Carr was a fascinating and memorable experience which I would recommend to any student of English literature. To hear the voice of the author herself gave me a completely new impression of the play we've read before.” (Caren Maria Germscheid)
“The atmosphere created by Marina Carr's calm aura, the attentive audience and the candlelight ambience of the Swane Café made this reading a unique experience. The perfect setting for a first-time encounter of such an event.” (Yonca Karabatak)
“For me the 20th of November 2018 was a very special and memorable day within the course of my literary studies. My fellow students and I had the chance to get in personal contact with one of the most popular dramatists of our time. Thanks to the Irish Itinerary Marina Carr found her way to Wuppertal all the way from Ireland and provided an evening full of dramatic reading and memorable emotion. This event gave me an insight into the life of a playwright and helped me to connect previously gained knowledge with reality.” (Timo Speck)
“The reading by Marina Carr was a new experience to me. I’ve never been to a reading before nor met an author so far. It was a great pleasure to meet Marina Carr and to listen to her amazing voice. The way she presented the three plays made it easy to get into the plays and to imagine each and every character. If I get the chance, I’ll definitely visit such a great event again!” (Shinthujaa Nithianantham)
“The reading by Marina Carr was an amazing experience I did not expect to encounter. Her way of presenting and reading three different plays was fascinating and mesmerizing at the same time. The atmosphere she was able to create with her voice, captured every person in the SWANE Café and allowed us to immerse in her plays.” (Miriam Köll)
