Dear Jimmy Flanagan,
I hope this finds you well. Gare St. Lazare Players Ireland would like to share with you our clip from touring Moby Dick.
As you know Gare St. Lazare along with Mr. Oliver Casey brought together a twinning of New Bedford and Youghal which has yet to be formally announced. We would love for you to show this clip as part of your Moby Dick Literary festival on St.Patricks weekend.
Here is the clip for your perusal.
All the best,
