See No Evil a portrayal of elder abuse |
![]() |
Danny Quinn lives on his own in a remote rural area in Ireland. He is 89 years of age. Tara Burke, his niece, comes to visit when she can. The neighbours are 'looking after' him. They are trusted family friends. As time goes by Tara begins to sense that something strange is happening. Something sinister is in the air. Something that no one will believe. This gripping play examines the issue of elder abuse. It looks at financial, emotional and psychological abuse. The play has been developed in consultation with Age Concern Derry and the Western Health and Social Services Board. "The play was excellent, it explored the issues of abuse in a very clear manner. It caused great discussion among teams, therefore raising the awareness and looking at how better we can deal with abused older people." Geraldine Hillick, Assistant Director, Western Trust. |
