Description

Kitty and Daniel Daly of Riverhead, St Mary’s Bay, had 12 children, six of whom were very tall and six of whom had skeletal dysplasia which today is also referred to as persons of short stature. The Daly Family Collective –their granddaughter (and great-niece), singer-songwriter Diana Daly, dancer-actor Louise Moyes, and director/collaborator Anne Troake have been asked to tell their stories. In a journey of friendship and song, Diana and Louise bring the Daly family’s memories to life through powerful images, tales, songs, dance, laughter, and a bit of Carlton Showband! If A Place Could Be Made is a story about family, strong personalities, great faith, inclusion, expansion and making the best out of what we have been given. This was the first RCA show to offer a relaxed performance and ASL interpretation.
