    Capital Area Irish highlight celebrations of Canada’s Irish Heritage Month with a viewing of a New Brunswick written and produced film about Partridge Island

    When: Sunday, March 15, 2026 1:15 to 3:00 pm

    Where: Brian Mulroney Hall, Rm. 101, St. Thomas University, 825 Montgomery Street, Fredericton, NB

    Admission: free admission - open to the general public

    An original piece written by Saint John playwright, Thomas Hodd, “No Man is an Island”, tells the story of the Irish immigrants who landed and quarantined on Partridge Island, just off the coast of Saint John, in the mid-19th century, "Specifically in Black '47, 1847, during the potato famine in Ireland," says actor Kenzie Delo.

    It is a story of immigration, isolation, sacrifice, facing one's fear of others, and what it takes to make a community. The story focuses on a group of doctors who clash over the treatment of patients in a quarantine centre.

    Originally performed on stage by the Saint John Theatre Company, directed by Ron Jenkins, the film version, directed by Drew Murdock, is a special hybrid re-telling that combines scenes from the original staged production with additional footage from the Partridge Island quarantine station and the Kings Landing living history museum filmed at these off-site locations for several days in 2021. The film direction of Murdock added another level to the story and a surreal experience for the cast.

    “The realism of the location mixed with the intimacy of the shots will add a whole other layer to the historic nature of the show.” Said Caroline Bell, cast member

    This special public rescreening of “No Man is an Island” is made possible by the generous permission of the Saint John Theatre Company, the play’s author and cast and crew members of the Atlantic Repertory Company.
