Running time: 75 mins
6pm / Thomas Moore Bard na hÉireann / 75 mins / Screen 6
Directed by Mal Marken. Radical, rogue, shapeshifter; Thomas Moore remains a mystery some 250 years on. A writer, poet and lyricist best known for his Irish Melodies collection, his life was multi-faceted. Famous and respected Moore’s life was full of contrasts; from his early years at Trinity College, as one of the few Catholics admitted, his life as an Irishman in England, his mixed-religion marriage, his friendships with London society while struggling financially. A close friend of both United Irishman, Robert Emmet and English Romantic, poet Lord Byron, even in Moore’s death there’s a duality.
