Stitch

By Irene Kelleher

Samhain night when spirits roam.
Something crawls into my bones...

Set in 1989 in a family run garments alteration shop, Pins and Needles, we witness Alice, the seamstress, whose
face is covered with scars, in her workshop putting the final touches on costumes for the Samhain Festival.

Stitch explores familial shame and generational trauma for unplanned pregnancies in 1980s Ireland, and the often horrific consequences for young women and their unplanned child.

This edition was published to coincide with the Bram Stoker Festival, October 2026 and subsequent tour.
