Built on the grounds of an old workhouse that operated between 1921 and 1961 the discovery threw up questions about the goings-on across this and similar institutions across Ireland. Tanika Gupta's powerful drama is loosely based on these recent and historical events, drawing inspiration from Corless' discovery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold through the eyes of Grace and her grandchildren, \u003ci\u003eBones\u003c\/i\u003e is a play about loss, punishment of unmarried mothers and the legacy of the demonisation of women by Church and State, where the human and reproductive rights of women are undermined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBones \u003c\/i\u003epremiered at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2019. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBones\u003c\/i\u003e is published in Methuen Drama's Plays For Young People Age 16+ series which offers suitable plays for young performers at schools, youth groups and youth theatres that have each had premiere productions by young performers in the UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanika Gupta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350280631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350280632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.16d","brand":"Tanika Gupta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637214462207,"sku":"9781350280632","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed1fc58b-f0ab-4be9-a2a3-229ece428fba.jpg?v=1765114705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bones-tanika-gupta-9781350280632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
