Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is welcome that Theatre 57 has organised as a collective. I hope they will be an example to other struggling artists around the country of the need to organise in such a way to ensure that, when events are happening in their area and there is State investment, there can be a legacy afterwards. I am not talking about a bad legacy where people are disenchanted with the State but a good...
