このコンテンツについて

Stepping Up Radio Play was co-written by Joan Lally and Olivier Bonnardot, directed by Oliver Bonnardot and edited by Olivier Bonnardot and Stan Quarterman.


Set in Galway City in 2019, Stepping Up seeks to authentically reflect modern Irish society, as well as serving as a historical record of significant cultural and political events during that year.


These events include Sinéad O’Connor’s appearance on The Late Late Show, her subsequent concert at the Róisín Dubh, the Oughterard silent protest against housing refugees, and the powerful counter-rally in Galway City extending a welcome to those seeking asylum.


The drama centres on a fictional Galway family, the Kellys. The play opens with Aisling Kelly the youngest daughter, attending counselling. As the story unfolds, Aisling meets Kamali, a young Zimbabwean man living in Direct Provision.


Through their relationship, we gain insight into the daily challenges faced by people in the Direct Provision system. The play also explores the difficulties the young couple encounter in contemporary Ireland, examining a range of attitudes toward racism and immigration.


Please note: This radio drama contains strong language and may be unsuitable for younger listeners. Parental guidance is advised.


The podcast is available for free until the 30th of September 2025 on podcast platforms and Ko-Fi. If you would like to support the project you can make a donation on Ko-Fi. The donations will help cover the cost of producing the audio play and start a real stage production in Ireland.

    Stepping Up Radio Play
    2025/08/07

    Stepping Up Radio Play is a new audio drama, adapted and directed by Olivier Bonnardot from the play of the same name, by Irish playwright Joan Lally. Drawing on Joan’s own experiences as a therapist and activist, the story captures the cultural and political atmosphere surrounding the immigration protests in Oughterard in 2019.


    Set in Galway City, Stepping Up Radio Play follows the emotional journey of Aisling Kelly, the youngest daughter of a fictional Irish family. When Aisling begins counselling, she finds herself at a crossroads—haunted by the past and uncertain about the future.


    Everything begins to shift when she meets Kamali, a gentle young man from Zimbabwe, living in Ireland’s Direct Provision system. As their relationship deepens, so too does Aisling’s understanding of love, injustice, and the courage it takes to truly see another person.


    The radio play is available for free until the 30th of September 2025 on podcast platforms, including Ko-Fi, Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube. If you would like to support the project you can make a donation on Ko-Fi. The donations will help cover the cost of producing the radio play and start a real stage production in Ireland.
