Launch marks a tale of two famed cities
The Newfie-Derry Bell was rung by 12-year-old Elliott Murphy whose father is from this city and his mum, who is involved in the production of the piece, is from London. Monday’s launch was also attended by SDLP MP for Foyle Mark Durkan and the city’s recently installed Mayor, Councillor Martin Reilly.
Introducing the event launch, James Kerr, from the Verbal Arts Centre said the piece: “Acknowledges and reflects the 400th anniversary of the links between London and Derry and through At Sixes at Sevens we found a way where everyone could be come involved.”
The world premier of At Sixes and Sevens will take place in Londonderry’s Guildhall on July 3.
