In Pictures: Launch of new book '4 Days in Derry & The Women of Bloody Sunday: the Tapes’

Precious recorded testimonies by the mothers, sisters, daughters and wives whose lives were devastated by the Bloody Sunday atrocity - and which formed the basis of the acclaimed play ‘4 Days in Derry’, by Creggan-born playwright Bernadette MacFarland - have been committed to print.

The tapes were transcribed and edited by journalist Mary-Anne McNulty and have now been published as ‘The Women of Bloody Sunday: the Tapes - Their Stories in Their Words’ in a book which also contains a transcript of the play.

The launch took place in Pilots Row community centre, Rossville Street. Pictures by George Sweeney.
