A 93-year-old Irish writer Edna O’Brien recounts her controversial life, novels, love affairs, and stardom through personal journals read by actress Jessie Buckley, with perspectives from writers like Gabriel Byrne and Walter Mosley.

The ICC is delighted to present a special preview screening of the documentary The Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story, before its UK Premiere on 18 April in London’s West End. Edna O’Brien was the ICC most treasured patron from 1995 until her recent death in 2024.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Director Sinéad O’Shea.
